About Original Laundry Detergent

Our Original Laundry Detergent was the very first product we created.

An ultra laundry concentrate made with pure and powerful ingredients; organic enzymes, plant based surfactants and essential oils.

It will deliver a thorough clean without unnecessary and harsh ingredients, like excess water or harmful parabens.

Original Laundry Detergent can be used on whites, lights, darks and colours; in top and front loaders; and in hot and cold washes.

What it Smells Like

Original Laundry Detergent contains a natural scent; Subtle Spring.

It is particularly good for people with sensitive noses, who want clothes to smell fresh, but without any perceptible scent residue when dry.

It has some sharp and zingy notes to cut through bad odours, like Eucalyptus, Lavender and Orange.
But it has a well rounded base that smells similar to a walk through the gardens in the springtime.

It contains essential oils; Lavandin Oil, Orange Oil, Palmarosa Oil, Pine Oil, Cedarleaf Oil, Cistus Oil, Citronella Oil, Clove Oil, Geranium Oil, Guaiacwood Oil, Patchouli Oil, Thuja Oil.

We make products that do less harm, a better choice.

What's the difference between Original Laundry Liquid, Advanced Wash and Wool and Delicate Wash?

Original Laundry was created for your general laundry needs, with pure yet powerful performance and a more subtle scent for sensitive noses.

Our Advanced Wash was designed with a little extra punch, especially when it comes to odour control with the addition of an antimicrobial agent.

Our Wool and Delicate Wash is exactly what it sounds like, a gentle and high-performing formula made for your most precious threads like wools and silk.
Can I use Original Laundry Detergent in hot and cold water?

Absolutely! Warmer water actually helps most detergents (including ours) perform better by opening up the fibres in the fabric.

At 20°C, you'll have a reduced performance by an average of 15% (it varies depending on the depth of the stain). As we’re a super high performing detergent, especially when it comes to stain removal, we recommend you wash lighter soiled loads in cold water and spot treat isolated stains.

For anything that’s smellier or sweatier with general grime, we recommend upping the temperature to 40°C.
Is Original Laundry Detergent part of your Refill Return program?

Absolutely, yes. All our refills are collected for reuse.

Can I use this Original Laundry Detergent in auto-dosing machines?

Yes, you can! But heads up, you should dilute it 1:1 with water first, so that your machine doesn't use too much detergent.

Does Original Laundry Detergent work in front and top loaders?

TLDR: Yep!

The difference between front and top loading detergent is that top loading detergent generally contains more bubbling ingredients. Bubbles have nothing to do with the quality of the wash, it's related to the way they make people feel when they're washing. Historically, manufacturers believed that more bubbles made people feel it was a ‘cleaner’ clean. Yep, true story.

If you use some top loading detergents in a front loader, they'll bubble too much, and reduce the quality of the wash (because too many bubbles will make it really difficult for your machine to create the friction it needs to wash clothes effectively).

So, if you see a detergent that’s suitable for front and top loaders, it'll indicate that there's no extra bubbling agent.

The other difference between the two machines is the amount of water each uses. Your detergent dosage should be measured based on the amount of clothes, and the amount of water the machine needs to wash them. As there's a big variation in the type of wash and machine (top loaders use nearly double the amount of water a front loader does), it's difficult for us to recommend the exact right amount. Some manufactures bottle the same detergents separately to make the dosage clear.

Our dosage recommendation is for an 8kg front loader, so use that as a guideline to find the best dose for you.
