I gotta say, I’m really not a fan of doing laundry. I’m the queen of forgetting to take more clothes out of the dryer and letting my clothes air dry for a few days longer than they need to. But I will say, I love the low waste laundry supplies that I’ve switched over to! From low waste detergent pods to reusable dryer balls, below are my favorite products for an eco-conscious laundry routine.

Dropps Laundry Detergent Pods:

Dropps low waste laundry detergent pods were the first eco swap I made in my laundry routine. There are a lot of different eco-friendly options but I really liked what I read about Dropps so gave them a try and here’s what I think:

For starters, they have compostable cardboard packaging and their shipping is 100% carbon neutral. I love how the pods come in a cardboard box with all the information printed on the inside of the box so there aren’t any excess inserts. I used a 32oz mason jar that I already had to put the pods in and love how I can keep refilling the jar every time I get a new order in.

Their ingredients are amazing too. These pods are fragrance-free, dye-free, phosphate-free, pthlalate-free, paraben-free, optical brightener-free, and vegan. On top of that, they’re cruelty-free and manufactured in the USA!

All this sounds great and ticks all my boxes, but, of course, the real question is: does it work? And the answer is YES. I use the unscented stain and odor detergent pods and they always leave my clothes feeling nice and clean.

If you’re interested in making the switch to low waste laundry pods I have a discount for you! If you’re a first-time customer, use my code COURTNEY25 for 25% off. If you’re a returning customer, enjoy 15% off with code COURTNEY15. Here’s the link to their detergent pods!

Reusable Wool Dryer Balls:

The next swap I made was switching single-use dryer sheets for reusable wool balls. Single-use dryer sheets are typically made from a form of polyester which is plastic. There are some single-use dryer sheets that are biodegradable which is a better option, but choosing reusable is an even better alternative! I was gifted Wool Dryer Balls with essential oil essence from Perfect Blue Alchemy and love them. I don’t always use the essential oil essence just because I forget to bring it when I do laundry sometimes, but when I do use it the fragrance is super faint. I only use about 15 drops because I don’t want to overdo it since I don’t like a heavy fragrance on my laundry but if you love to have a scent adding more drops should add more fragrance!

If you want to make the swap to wool dryer balls, you can use the code COURTNEYxPBA for $5 off your first order at Perfect Blue Alchemy. Dropps also has a set of dryer balls on their website as well!

Stain Remover Bar:

I got the Tangie Stain Remover Bar from The Waste Less Shop and can’t believe how well it works. I was definitely skeptical about trying it out, but after it’s gotten out pasta sauce, salsa, and coffee it’s safe to say it truly does work. It’s not as easy to use as a laundry spray since you have to get the stained area wet first and then rub the bar on it, but an easy hack is to upcycle a spray bottle you may have with water to easily wet the desired area instead of going to the sink to wet it. And by the way, it’s plastic-free, vegan, and Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty-Free!

If you’re ready to try a plastic-free stain stick, use the code COURNTEY10 for 10% off your order at The Waste Less Shop.

Air dry clothes

After every load of laundry, you can count on a bunch of my clothes being hung around the apartment. Although I don’t air dry all of my clothes, even air drying some of your clothes is a great way to reduce your energy usage and make your load of laundry going in the dryer smaller. Does anyone else air dry their clothes? Have any other zero waste laundry products you love? Let me know in the comments!
