Cruelty free laundry

[GingerFreaker]

That basically. I want cruelty free laundry products that I can find in a supermarket for my shopping delivery. I've been using smol, which I really like, but it's too expensive for me.

Any suggestions please?

Following. I guess you want something that doesnt damage wildlife ecosystems in the water cycle, as well as products not tested on animals. Washer balls?

Smol was my best search…you pay for cruelty free and least environmental impact. If it’s cruelty free only look at M&S for all their cleaning/washing own brand is cruelty free and delivered via Ocado.

I use bog standard Aldi washing powder in a cardboard box, it's cheap, has the Cruelty Free bunny logo on it and I use just enough to be effective.

Next level for me would be to use saponin rich plants - I have used soap nuts in the past, but they have to be imported from places like India and deprive the locals of a traditional means of washing clothes. Other options are growing the soapwort plant and collecting horse chestnuts.

Another option would be to buy a bar of laundry soap, either lather it in directly to wet laundry, or grate it up into a recipe with stuff like washing soda crystals... look on frugal living sites for ideas.

Aldi washing powder is cruelty free, and I think Sainsbury's laundry products are too.

Not sure how you feel about Method? I get that when it's on offer.

I just got an Eco Egg which is vegan, cruelty free and has a bunch of fine reviews (including on here). My first go with it will be later this morning so I'm looking forward to seeing how well it works. The egg takes the place of washing powder/liquid/pod and conditioner which sounds good to me.

I've used the egg at least twice a day since my above post. I'm delighted with it. I do use a stain spray when necessary, and I do put Zoflora in the conditioner drawer when the washing is the dogs' stuff.

We use washing nuts. I know that some posters on Mumsnet have said that it doesn't work for them, but it always turns out that it is because they want the scent of perfume so they put essential oils in the washing machine as well and funnily, your clothes will not become clean if you put oil in the washing machine.

We have saved so much money using washing nuts for you can use the same portion at least 15 times. It is also nice to not have to carry heavy boxes with washing powder home.

All supermarket own brand laundry stuff has been cruelty free for years. The Co op was the first to adopt it.

Ecover and Method were bought by SC Johnston so not strictly cruelty free any more.

If you want eco friendly too, or just don’t fancy own brand, then Bio D and Attitude are both good. And both are vegan. I can particularly recommend Attitude’s stain remover spray.
