The Apothecary Laundry Powder

This eco friendly laundry powder, fragranced with cleansing essential oils, is gentle on the skin, fabric and the earth. The Apothecary’s effective washing powder is safe for even the most sensitive skins as well as our waterways. Like all The Apothecary’s spotless cleaning products, their ‘Laundry Salts’ clean your clothes beautifully without harming you, your home or the environment. Compatible with grey water systems, this powder is kind to septic tanks and helps keep pipes and drains clear. It leaves no harmful residues and emit no noxious fumes.

If you are sensitive to strong scents, you will love that your laundry will dry fragrance-free. The Apothecary’s laundry powder breaks down readily into benign, which are natural substances that are harmless to oceans and waterways. The delightful scent of lavender & grapefruit comes from cleansing, therapeutic pure essential oils which are organically grown.
