Natural Laundry Detergent in India — Liquids, Powders & Soap Nuts

Laundry is the largest single source of household detergent entering drains, and most Indian homes wash several loads a week. This range covers plant-based laundry liquids, powders, soap nuts (reetha), laundry bars, fabric conditioners and refill packs.

Choosing a detergent

• Machine type. Front-loading machines need low-foam formulas. Using a top-load powder in a front-loader causes over-sudsing and poor rinsing.
• Enzymes. Protease and amylase lift protein and starch stains at low temperatures, which saves energy. They are not suitable for wool or silk.
• Soap nuts. Reetha shells contain natural saponins and work best in warm water on lightly soiled loads; heavy stains still need a pre-treat.
• Hard water. Much of India has hard water. Look for a builder such as sodium citrate or added washing soda, or dose slightly higher.
• Fabric care. Bamboo and organic cotton knits last longer washed cold on a gentle cycle with a mild, low-alkaline detergent.
