Spring Cleaning in the Chickpad: New Products to Help Keep Your Home Looking Great!
If you live in a NYC apartment, then you understand that the phrase Spring Cleaning doesn’t so much refer to a yearly ritual as it does to an ongoing process. Some type of deep-cleaning in one room or another is really necessary every couple of weeks in order to combat the dirt and grime that sneaks into the home from the street. Because it really is a jungle out there. Ugh. Don’t even get me started on the Sisyphean task of keeping the dust off of every interior surface, because it’s a pain in the butt.

Product Review: Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder

As consumers, we are constantly monitoring what we eat, and scrutinizing food product labels; but we don’t think as deeply about what we allow to touch our skin. Not many people are aware that a skincare product’s ingredients can, and do, find their way into our bloodstream. It’s a scary thought. After watching This Film, I became increasingly vigilant about checking labels on household products, searching out natural, fragrance-free, and chemically safe product alternatives for cleaning around my home and I came across to the maids service brooklyn, probably the best thing that happened to me.
Recently, I was asked to try the laundry powder Molly’s Suds and received a small sample packet it email to try on my own laundry. Molly’s Suds has a fascinating back story: the product line was created by a pediatric nurse, who began to do extensive research on chemical product additives after suffering the stillbirth of a child. She discovered that newborn baby cord blood and amniotic fluid have shown the presence of multiple non-natural toxins (as many as 240 chemicals have been found in cord blood). More than 120 of the chemicals were from toxins in food, personal care, household and environmental products. From her own personal tragedy, she felt a responsibility to teach others about these toxins, and to make a difference.
The sample I received (shown above) contained enough laundry powder for two average-sized loads of wash, and you need to use just over one measured tablespoon for effective cleaning! If you are in the habit of using half a cup of liquid detergent (or more) per load, as I am, you know this may seems weird, because you can’t believe that such a small amount of product will really work. I was excited to put it to the test!
Being detergent-free, Molly’s Suds is low-sudsing product (in fact, you may see no suds at all), but don’t panic just because you are accustomed to equating lots of suds with a higher degree of cleanliness. One thing has nothing to do with other, so just trust that the small amount you’ve added to your wash is sufficient to get your clothes clean.
Upon coming out of the dryer, my clothes smelled fresh and clean, but had no discernible perfume-y scent, and even a well-trod-upon rug came out bright and stain free. I am sold on this product and happy to spread the word about Molly’s Suds: A safe and effective laundry product! Learn more about Molly’s Suds and buy their products online at This Link!
