Life’s a Dream with Coco Clean™ (Ok, well your Cleaning Life, anyway!)
#1 Cold Agua
Set your washing-machine dial to use cold water. This reduces water-heating bills by skipping the use of hot water. Note: Coco Clean™ has been tested using HE front-loading machines with cold water and ranked very high for stain removal. For very bad stains, see #2 below.
#2 Pre Treat-Baddies
Spill some spaghetti sauce on your favorite shirt ? Did your kiddos roll around playing in the mud? No worries. Here are 2 tips:
-
Blend a splash of water and a stain-fighting laundry powder like Coco Clean™ to make a paste and apply directly onto stains for 15-30 minutes. Then throw into your washing machine. Easy peasy!
-
Pre-soak the stained clothes or towels with Coco Clean™ Laundry Max Powder or our Oxi Booster Powder. If you have very bad stains, you can add hot water.
#3 Plastic-Free
Did you know 800M plastic detergent jugs are discarded every year? And that most end up tossed into landfills? Beyond all the waste involved, plastic leads to “micro plastics” entering our human bodies and food systems. Many don’t that laundry pods and sheets are made with a synthetic plastic material called PVA, There are questions as to how well they really break down in water ways and oceans.
So it’s best to avoid plastic jugs, bags, scoops, pods and sheets altogether!
#4 Skip Harsh Colorants & Preservatives
A surprising fact is that about 90% of all laundry detergents contain synthetic coloring agents like blue or green artificial dyes. The same companies that sell these toxic dyes for say, Kellog Cereals, also makes them for leading detergent brands.
Another unknown fact is virtually all liquid detergents – including most Free & Clear versions – add a 21-letter synthetic preservative called “Meth….. “. Many moms are now avoiding this additive given the questionable issues.
#5 Eliminate Odors
Last but not least, this Laundry Hack removes odors from your towels and sheets and clothes. Nobody wants lingering stinky smells or mildew stains, right? Coco Clean’s laundry detergent removes those baddies like a champ!
You must be wondering…how do we do that ; ) ? Well, our formula includes a special enzyme that removes body odor (while also whitening your clothes). We add several odor and mildew stain fighting ingredients like hydrogen peroxide (sodium percarbonate) and the mineral, sodium borate. Together they get the job done. Plus, you’ll get the added bonus of softer towels!
