Did you know that laundry detergent was created due to a soap shortage during WWII? We are now conditioned to believe that detergent is better than soap, but is that really true? Soap is made of all natural ingredients, such as plant oils, whereas detergent is made of synthetic man made derivatives. Our laundry soap (coming to our online store soon) works just as your typical store bought detergent. A kind process, with the same results.... Which would you rather wash your clothes in? #thekindwaytoclean

Did you know that the average Canadian family does 8 loads of laundry a week? That's alot of laundry! If using a typical store bought detergent, that's a huge amount of chemicals entering our waterways... Many laundry detergents contain oxygen reducing substances that can cause severe damage to fish & other marine animals.... Our laundry products are made with all natural ingredients, making it a much safer option for those animals in the water Start cleaning the kind way today. #thekindwaytoclean

Did you know that heating the water in your washing machine is responsible for 90% of the electricity needed to run a single cycle? Dial the temperature down on your next wash & see if you notice a difference. I can almost guarantee that you won't, but the earth will #thekindwaytoclean
