Eco friendly laundry alternative like Smol but different?

Looking to find a more eco friendly/less plasticky alternative. We currently use biological washing tablets. Tried Smol but they were still too fragranced, we need something completely fragrance free but still biological. Does it exist?

Don't forget that most eco friendly laundry product is the one that gets your washing clean at the coldest possible temperature. Heating up water to 40 degrees, let alone 60 is ruinous for the planet and your energy bills.

I use Tru Earth, very similar to Earth Breeze (might even be the same with just a different name for different markets). They have unscented bio or fresh cotton scent bio (which I can't actually smell) and non-bio.

I’ve just discovered these, amazing….minimal packaging (the sheets are less than half A4 size) and so easy to use. They do a non-bio version as well.

I went over to Homethings fairly recently. I use their washing powder, dishwasher powder, and cleaning sprays. Instead of buying a full bottle of mainly water, you buy a little tablet and then add water, so they are much lighter to transport.

I'm very pleased with them and don't see myself going back.

Ecover do fragrance free powder in a cardboard box which I have found quite good. I have also tried laundry eggs but didn't rate them. Currently using Loles laundry soap granules, and they're great and natural, not sure if they do a fragrance free though.

I use Bower Collective - refill packs which you can post back to them to be recycled. Looks similar to Splosh I think.

I'm an ecoball convert. We have the unfragranced egg. We bought it 5 months ago, and I've just ordered a refill. We have 3 kids, and a bnb so lots and lots of washing.

The only clothes I don't wash with it is my dh's cycling stuff (needs a bio) and cricket whites.
