How to choose the most suitable detergent

productos naturales para el cuidado del hogar Home Healthy Home

Natural fibers, synthetic and technical fabrics, lingerie, white or colored clothing. Each type of garment requires specific care to keep it in perfect condition and extend its life. At Home Healthy Home we want to help you take care of your clothes while respecting your health and our environment. For this reason, we have formulated and developed several specific laundry soaps to cover all your needs.

Most industrial detergents usually include enzymes in their formulas which, in addition to being highly questionable for health, spoil delicate clothes, even dissolving color pigments. Another highly questioned ingredient is optical brighteners that, in addition to damaging the environment, will make your clothes lose their color and shine.

Synthetic or technical clothing will last longer if you wash it with a detergent that neutralizes bad odors and as for white textiles, you must wash them with a special detergent for white fabrics or else they will turn yellow or grey.

Are all our laundry detergents ecological?

Yes they are. At Home Healthy Home , we bet on simple formulas and natural and effective ingredients. The world of home care has thrived on often false promises and uncertain chemicals in plastic packaging. So we choose to go back to basics. To become a truly ecological alternative with a collection of totally natural, biodegradable, non-toxic products, without preservatives or dyes and in recyclable and reusable packaging.

We only work with Spanish factories and artisans who share our philosophy, trying to minimize the footprint we leave on the environment, both in the extraction of raw materials and in the entire manufacturing process. Our formulas are made to be understood, they are simple, short and well studied. Nature is always that simple but at the same time, extraordinarily effective.

Thus, we formulate our laundry soaps for clothes:

  • Free of enzymes, bleach, zeolites, phosphates and harmful preservatives.
  • Formulated and manufactured in Spain.
  • With totally biodegradable natural ingredients. 
  • With vegetable surfactants.
  • Without petrochemical components.
  • No parabens, no GMOs.
  • The virgin olive oil we use is organic, as are the essential oils.
  • We use sugar surfactants, and no petroleum products.
  • We saponify cold to preserve the properties of the ingredients and save energy.
  • Our bottle is 100% recyclable glass and refillable to infinity thanks to our paper refills.
  • All liquid soaps are efficient from 30ºC.
By using natural ingredients, the color and texture of our liquid soaps may vary slightly depending on the batch or the temperature at which they are stored, but they never lose their cleaning power.
