Can you imagine an entire detergent to fit into a cellphone-sized package? We know it may sound unrealistic, but TruEarth Laundry Detergent Eco-Strips is just that!
TruEarth is a vegan laundry detergent in pre-measured strips. 1 strip is about 3 grams and corresponds to one wash. In addition, the outer packaging is made of cardboard and is 100% plastic free, helping to reduce weight and waste. As it's hypoallergenic, it's ideal for sensitive skin. Furthermore, it's made with totally safe ingredients and is free from sulfates (SLS), parabens, phosphates or bleach.
Where to put TruEarth Laundry Detergent Eco-Strips?
You can place them directly into the washing machine drum, or into the detergent drawer. If you put it in the drawer of the machine, it can make it easier to cut the strip into small pieces.
How many strips should I use?
In most situations, one strip is enough. A standard wash is considered to be 3 to 5 kg, lightly soiled and washed in moderately hard water. You may want to increase the amount of detergent used if the water is too hard, if the laundry is very dirty or if the amount of laundry is over 5kg.
Can I use TruEarth on cloth diapers?
TruEarth is safe for 100% cotton cloth diapers but we recommend that you follow the specific washing and detergent recommendations of each clothing manufacturer. TruEarth will not affect the absorbency of the cloth and is hypoallergenic. However, many modern cloth diapers also contain some combination of synthetic materials and glues in their support structure. Depending on the materials used, TruEarth may affect the strength and durability of that support structure.
How does TruEarth reduce carbon emissions?
1 strip of TruEarth Detergent weighs 3 grams and is enough for one wash. This means that a detergent pack will be much smaller than the conventional packs we usually find. By reducing the weight, transport fuel consumption and carbon emissions are reduced. The packaging is plastic-free and reduces transport pollution by 94%.
TruEarth Laundry Detergent Eco-Strips is a detergent free of parabens, phosphates, bleach and sulfates such as SLS (which has been recognized as a potentially cancerous ingredient). It's fully biodegradable, safe for marine life, hypoallergenic and vegan/cruelty free. The entire development, production and packaging process is carried out in Canada. In addition, the small size (each strip is only 3 grams) allows for a reduction in fuel consumption, reducing pollution during transport by 94% when compared to a conventional detergent. The packaging is made of cardboard and free of plastics.
