How to create a safe organic laundry room?
Your laundry room matters more than you think. It’s where clothes, bedding, blankets, and everything in between gets cleaned, so creating a modern organic laundry room is a smart way to reduce chemical exposure to VOCs and support your family’s health.
Let’s start with some easy swaps:
-
Non-toxic laundry detergents made with organic, plant-based ingredients (no artificial fragrances or harsh chemicals).
-
If you can't find an ingredients list, skip it. The best organic laundry products should be free from dyes, phthalates, parabens and petroleum ingredients.
-
Organic dryer balls instead of chemical-heavy dryer sheets: they’re reusable, baby-safe, and better for sensitive skin.
-
Solid wood or metal shelves to replace cheap plastic shelving.
-
Natural fiber laundry hampers made from cotton, metal or woven reeds and grasses
Why choose an eco friendly laundry room design?
Switching to an eco friendly laundry room is a way to make your home even healthier and more sustainable. Sustainable design uses plant-based and natural materials, that will instantly elevate the look and feel of an otherwise boring laundry room.
Here’s why an eco friendly laundry setup benefits you:
-
Make the plant-based soap switch. Your skin will thank you, and you’ll cut out synthetic chemicals and VOCs that will otherwise absorb into skin through out the day. Things like petroleum-based surfactants, optical brighteners, and artificial perfumes and scents can be harmful to your health.
-
Only use the amount of water that you need to cover the clothes. Filling up the laundry drum full of water for a few pieces of clothing wastes up to 40 gallons of water.
-
Add an ozone system to your water line that goes into the washing machine. The gentle ozone mixes into the water to brighten clothes with much less soap. Plus ozone sanitizes and allows the use of cold-water cycles to lower your carbon footprint and saves on bills.
-
Clean your laundry drum. Grease and grime from dirty clothes will eventually build up on the surface of your laundry machine. Use some baking soda and soap with a scrubber sponge to remove the buildup. Then rinse with white vinegar—one of our fav eco conscious laundry room hacks!
We're all about creating a cleaner, greener space with eco friendly laundry room essentials. In a nutshell, here's our tips for your sustainable laundry routine!
Reduce exposure to harsh chemicals with non toxic laundry options
If your laundry routine leaves your skin itchy or your nose overwhelmed by “fresh” scent, you're not alone. Many mainstream detergents are full of ingredients you wouldn’t want near your baby’s clothes, or your own.
Choosing non toxic laundry options means no mystery chemicals, no overpowering perfumes, and no long-term buildup on fabrics. Just clean clothes that truly feel clean.
Tip: Look for laundry products labeled fragrance-free, not just unscented. Fragrance-free means no added masking agents, which is better for sensitive skin.
Save water and energy with eco friendly appliances
High-efficiency washers use less than half the water of older models, and energy-saving dryers use lower heat cycles that protect delicate fabrics. Pair that with conscious habits (like washing full loads and using cold water), and you’re saving resources every single time you press start.
Tip: Skip the dryer when you can. Air-drying clothes (especially lightweight baby items) saves energy and helps them last longer.
Create a calming space with organic modern design elements
We know, laundry can feel like a never-ending chore. But turning your laundry room into a peaceful, well-designed space actually makes the task feel a little more enjoyable. Soft lighting, natural textures, and clutter-free open shelving.
A calming scent can go a long way too: try adding a small diffuser with a drop of lavender or chamomile essential oil. It’s a simple way to make folding clothes feel less like work and more like a mindful moment.
