The Citrus Laundry Powder Story

Our laundry powder will end your search for a natural product that consistently delivers fresh & clean results . . . it’s quite simply a whole lot of dirty, stinky, cleaning with meaning!

This laundry powder works in all kinds of water, is great in both high efficiency (HE) machines & standard washers, plus does extra duty as a cleaner for walls, floors & more!

Scented with our signature citrus blend of lemon & orange essential oils, this laundry powder emits a refreshing essence when you do the laundry that will largely dissipate once the clothes are dry, as the essential oils are too fragile to survive the laundry process. 😊

As to effectiveness, wow! One tablespoon does a load of cloth diapers, hockey or mechanic's clothes! Plus, fabric doesn’t streak or fade & no residue is left to irritate skin. The red heart used to join the text 'Grandbaby-tested' with 'Nana-approved!'

Scent FAQs

Will my laundry be scented when it is dry?
- No. Why? Essential oils are often too fragile to survive the laundry process.
Can I buy the scent to use on my dryer balls?
- For sure! Visit the essential oil section to make your selection.
How long will unused powder stay scented?
- About 12 months. Essential oils are fragile & will dissipate if left open to the air. Store powder in air tight container between uses to maintain the scent.

Instructions ~ Regular Diaper Cleaning Routine

Pre-wash – To get the poo & pee out

Left - Ick water from first wash. Right - Clearer water from second wash.

Shortest cycle on washer with highest level of water
1 teaspoon laundry powder
Cold water
Hard Water Tip: If your water is really, really hard add 1/4 cup borax

Wash – To get them clean 😊

2 teaspoons laundry powder
Cold water

Drying tip: Line-dry diapers whenever possible. The sun is such a great natural bleach & fresh air is so much easier on the elastics in the diaper shells than a hot dryer 😊

Two load tip: The ick-factor of the prewash water will be greater when the diapers are washed less frequently. That said, there will always be a noticeable difference, so we do recommend doing two washes.
