Why Choose Natural Powder Laundry Detergent?

For those who prefer a scent, Dr Suds offers scented versions using only pure essential oils: Dr Suds Natural Laundry Powder Lavender and Dr Suds Natural Laundry Powder Eucalyptus Peppermint.
The result? A powder laundry detergent that’s safe for both your skin and the environment.
You can choose from a convenient 4-lb bag that covers over 100 loads, or go big with a 40-lb bucket for long-term use. Not only is this natural laundry solution gentle, but it’s also surprisingly economical.
How To Hand-Wash Clothes With Dr Suds Laundry Detergent Powder
Using Dr Suds powder for hand-washing clothes is simple. All you need is a basin or sink, warm water, and a scoop of detergent. Here’s how to do it:
- Fill a basin or sink with warm water. Make sure it’s deep enough to fully submerge the clothes.
- Add a small scoop of Dr Suds powder. One tablespoon is usually enough for a small to medium load. Stir the water to dissolve the powder completely.
- Soak your clothes. Submerge your garments and let them soak for about 10–15 minutes. This allows the gentle ingredients to break down dirt and odors without harsh chemicals.
- Agitate gently. Swish the clothes around with your hands, paying special attention to areas like collars and underarms.
- Rinse thoroughly. Drain the soapy water and rinse your clothes in clean water until no residue remains.
- Dry as usual. Hang dry or lay flat, depending on the fabric.
