What Are Laundry Strips? And How to Use Them

Living a more sustainable and zero waste lifestyle means thinking carefully about all our habits – from what we eat, to what we wear, to how we wash our clothes... Making eco friendly product swaps and thinking more carefully about what we buy really can make a big difference. Laundry strips are one product that we can choose. They can be a great product swap for traditional liquid laundry detergents.

Washing less, and washing more wisely are key strategies for sustainable living. There are a number of things you can do to overhaul your laundry routine. Choosing laundry strips rather than liquid detergents could be a good place to start.

What Are Laundry Strips?

 

Laundry strips are concentrated, pre-measured strips of laundry detergent. Each strip is just right for one wash, and the strips come fragrance free or with a 'fresh breeze' scent that is the same smell as TruEarth 'fresh linen'.  These can be bought in plastic-free packs of 32 or 64 strips. If you launder daily, that is a month or two of washes.

Moving closer to zero waste and living a more sustainable lifestyle can sometimes seem like a challenge. But products like laundry strips make it simple, easy and straightforward to change your life for the better.

 

 

Why Are Laundry Strips A Good Alternative to Traditional Liquid Detergent?

 

Many people buy traditional liquid detergent. But choosing these products can cause a range of problems for people and our planet. Switching away from traditional liquid laundry detergent in plastic bottles and choosing laundry strips instead can help avoid a range of problems. Making this switch means:

  • Avoiding harmful chemicals that are often present in traditional liquid detergents.
  • And the issues they can bring not only for the environment but also for those with sensitive skin.
  • Reducing the amount of plastic we bring into our homes, and therefore the amount of plastic waste we generate. Thereby helping us move closer to zero waste and play a role in tackling our planet's global plastic waste crisis, and reducing the greenhouse gases associated with plastic production.
  • Reducing, too, the greenhouse gases associated with transportation. Laundry strips are a lot smaller and lighter than traditional liquid laundry soap options. This means fewer trucks on the road, using less fuel. Making this switch can reduce transportation pollution by up to 94%.
  • The lighter laundry strips also mean no more lugging heavy detergent bottles home from the store, and no need for them to take up space in your home.

By now, you should be getting a much clearer picture of why traditional liquid laundry detergents are not usually a good idea. But why should you choose our laundry strips as an alternative?

Well, our laundry strips have a wide range of benefits. They are not only light and portable, and therefore, as described above, a more eco-friendly and sustainable choice. They are also kind on your skin, and do just as good a job of cleaning your clothes as liquid laundry soaps do.

They're also more practical. They are easier to move around and to store in your home. So generally make your life a whole lot easier.
