I have a Dyson air purifier that runs in my living room and I’ve started noticing recently how the level of VOC’s goes up when I wash clothes so I’ve been doing some research on how to replace my detergent. This was a very helpful video, thanks for putting it together! I just ordered Molly’s Suds arriving tomorrow. Can’t wait too try it out
Hi there thank you for the informative video! I’ve been reviewing tons of vids to see how I can make baby safe laundry detergent for my home. I want to add lavender essential oils to it but I’m not quite understanding if I add drops of oil directly to the mixture? Or Add into the washing machine when I add the detergent?
Thank you for watching!!! You add the drops directly to the laundry powder and mix it well. This will keep the oil from just sitting on top of the water like it would if you just added it directly to the water. The recipe that is in the description should give you the amounts.
Are there natural fragrances that you could add in to add a scent? I've never In my life used scented detergent because it gives me terrible allergies. But are there things that you could add in to give clothes a scent? Like an oil or some type of something?
That’s one I have trouble with too. I know I saw what they say helps somewhere but for the life of me I can’t remember. Let me see if I can find what I saw.
I have tried so many EWG approved and lower scored detergents. My problem is that I use natural deodorant and I sweat a lot. I have not been able to find any detergent that can get armpit area clean. I continue to stain clothes that can never be worn again and it is so frustrating. Any pointers or pre stain treatments that you would recommend? The recent ones I tried were attitude and truly free. I will definitely try Molly suds next.
I would pretreat with the detergent for a few hours in the armpit area and then wash. Also try detoxing your armpits with activated charcoal. It’s common to have your issue when switching to a non-toxic deodorant.
Castile soap is probably best as Fels Naptha has some questionable ingredients and I think Zote might have fragrance which is my #1 no no ingredient. The liquid Castile works if you’re doing a liquid detergent but the recipe in the video is a powder.
Hello, thank you for your helpful and insightful video. By any chance have you ever used BioKleen detergent? And since making this video have you stayed and continue using Molly suds?
I have not used BioKleen before. Yes I still love Mollys Suds. They just came out with a 2 in 1 detergent with their natural icy booster added to the laundry powder.
Thanks for watching!! We are using the Molly’s Suds currently only because I found for my 3 boys that are in sports it works better to get the boy stink out.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm gonna go ahead and try mollys suds. I've tried Branch basics myself too and had a similar experience.
Thanks for watching! U fortunately this is a powder detergent so you couldn’t use the liquid Castile soap. There are recipes making a liquid detergent you could use the liquid Castile soap.
Molly’s Suds mostly, but I’m going to try a brand that’s called Pure Haven next. They have a bunch of truly non-toxic products. I’ve used their skin care line and love them.
Dr. Shauna, what do you think about Persil ?? I have been using it and I like it for the cleaning capabilities and the nice scent! I am contemplating buying Seventh Generation and trying it!
I went to EWG.com and they rated Persil detergent a F due to bad ingredients. They do ratings on most products and their ingredients and that’s where I check most of our products in our house.
Thanks! I may just try the Seventh Generation laundry detergent! I’m a single man so I don’t have to worry about a family’s laundry, just mine! I heard many years ago that Tide has known carcinogens in it!! My mother used Tide all the time! Coincidently, she had cancer! It may have caused it!! I’ve never used Tide myself! Thanks, this info is great!!
@@pdpmassage Thanks for watching!! I searched and found Earth Breeze laundry sheets, and most other laundry sheets contain PVA, which is microplastics. I did see Molly's Suds on a list of plastic free detergents.
The issue i have is i got a fair few wool and silk items bedding & clothes. But have not found a good non tox detergent that cleans well. 😩 any suggestions
Thank you for watching!! Molly’s Suds super powder works great for me and they have a regular powder and I’m pretty sure there’s one for more delicate fabrics.
Hi! Do you still use the Molly’s Super Powder? If so have you tried any of the fragrances and do you use it on all your clothes including delicates and colors? I just tried the regular but had to buy the whitener and would love to have both in one product and if possible use it on all clothes. Do you use cold and warm/hot water with this detergent? Thanks!
Thank you for watching! I do still use Mollys Suds. I generally wash in cold water but have used it in warm/hot water as well. I found the super powder works well for us in place of the regular powder. I do add whitener to the super powder for some loads from time to time. I hope this answers your questions.
Not a lot, other than learning the ph isn’t a good fit for use as a hand soap, because it can dry the skin out. The recipe is for powder so the Dr. Bonners wouldn’t be good since it’s liquid.
Hello Dr. Shauna, I currently use a plant-based laundry detergent with lavender and fabric conditioner without dyes and perfumes. Do you have another recommendation? From Miami, FL
@@GPMIAMI Chemically it’s made by a major name brand company and is identical to their famous branded product, whose name you would instantly recognize.
@@HealingStartsFromWithin it’s my new favorite thing! My clothes smells so fresh and don’t have a chemical feel to them. They even hang omg my body different, the fibers hugging my body a bit better. Now that may be from the clothesline drying, but over great very informative and excellent laundry detergent!
I’m having a hard time getting a full list of ingredients. What I’m finding seems ok but not the best option if you’re wanting non-toxic. Mollys suds has their own version of Oxyclean I’m using and I really like it.
Molly's Suds is good but the downside is some of the products can't be easily found in stores. I don't know why that is. You would think they want to be seen and make it so that someone shopping sees it on a store shelf gets it there too. The active formula seems to work well to get rid of the stains on pillow cases. I am sure some of their other products work well for that too but I have not tried them yet. I don't usually stock a whole lot of detergent. I only have two bags of the active formula since it was a little bit cheaper buying it that way.
I have seen a lot of people be very sensitive to the synthetic fragrances. The essential oils as a natural fragrance tend to be less of an issue for those people.
I love your videos , what do you recommend for cleaning products that does not lower testosterone, I’ve been researching a lot and I always find at least one ingredient that’s bad for hormones
Cleaning products are tough for sure. I usually use white vinegar, water and blue Dawn, but the Dawn doesn’t have the best ingredients either. I use the more natural one but it still has dyes in it. Seventh generation I use some and branch basics has a concentrate you add to water that is a pretty good option.
Actually the Mollys Sud’s we put into a glass container and don’t keep in the regular packaging. I also used to keep the DIY brand in a glass airtight jar as well. The seventh generation and Branch basics were options I mentioned but not my favorites.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful. More videos are coming!
I was curious, why fels naptha?
It’s just one option. The recipe calls for a shredded bar of soap and fels naphtha is one that works well or a bar of Castile soap.
How do you naturally get oil/ grease stains out of clothing that's been in the fabric for months?
That’s one I have trouble with too. I know I saw what they say helps somewhere but for the life of me I can’t remember. Let me see if I can find what I saw.

Your understanding of the relevant chemistry involved is abysmal. Really!
Thank you!! I’m new to all this. I’m trying to find and understand better ways to keep my family away from toxic chemicals. This was very helpful.

Alter your diet. You'll sweat less toxic sweat, which shouldn't be loud(smell) and stainy.
I would pretreat with the detergent for a few hours in the armpit area and then wash. Also try detoxing your armpits with activated charcoal. It’s common to have your issue when switching to a non-toxic deodorant.
Tea tree oil with water sprayed pre wash on the sweat areas, works well for us.
How does Zote compare to Fells Napha and Castile bar soap? Is liquid Castile okay as well?
Castile soap is probably best as Fels Naptha has some questionable ingredients and I think Zote might have fragrance which is my #1 no no ingredient. The liquid Castile works if you’re doing a liquid detergent but the recipe in the video is a powder.

thank you so much! does your family currently use Molly side or the diy recipe?
Thanks for watching!! We are using the Molly’s Suds currently only because I found for my 3 boys that are in sports it works better to get the boy stink out.
Healing Starts From Within thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
@@HealingStartsFromWithin Even with the baking soda and essential oils ??
Yes, even with those in the homemade detergent Mollys suds did better. I may need to tweak the recipe some, but haven’t tried yet.
Thank you! I will try the Molly suds, I prefer powder.
Thank you for watching! I love the Molly’s suds powder!
Thank you for watching! I think you’ll really like the Molly’s Suds powder.
Is Molly Suds made in USA?
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm gonna go ahead and try mollys suds. I've tried Branch basics myself too and had a similar experience.
Also, there are laundry detergent sheets that dissolve in water and they are made eco friendly and non toxic. There are several on Amazon.

What is your opinion on Nellie’s Laundry Soda? Much appreciate your advice.
The ingredients are pretty simple. How does it clean and get bad smells out?
What laundry detergent do you still use? Thanks

My mom makes her own detergent she's actually making some today, and she uses all the stuff you said in hers
Have you tried it yourself?
@@HealingStartsFromWithin not yet! I'm moving Saturday so for now I'll just buy one you suggested but once I'm settled in i will!

EWG is a lobbyist for natural product companies. Google EWG is not science.
Can you use that diy detergent on newborn clothes?
Yes. That’s what I used to use when my youngest was a baby and on his cloth diapers too.
I have been using Earth Breeze sheets but heard recently on a video that it's made in China & probably has chemicals. Do u have knowledge of this one?
Also enjoyed ur recommendations! Had tried MollysSuds but not the Super. Thks!
@@pdpmassage Thanks for watching!! I searched and found Earth Breeze laundry sheets, and most other laundry sheets contain PVA, which is microplastics. I did see Molly's Suds on a list of plastic free detergents.
@@HealingStartsFromWithin thanks so much for ur insight & reply!🤗
@@HealingStartsFromWithin
Wrong! PVA does not produce microplastics except when you believe whatever clueless mommy bloggers post online.

Molly’s Suds has a super powder and other boosters that are good without the toxic ingredients.

I’ve only used the super powder which is lavendar. No strong synthetic fragrance smell and clothes smell great.
Have you researched Dr Bronners Pure Castile soap ?
Not a lot, other than learning the ph isn’t a good fit for use as a hand soap, because it can dry the skin out. The recipe is for powder so the Dr. Bonners wouldn’t be good since it’s liquid.
Bronners stuff is made by Jews.

Hello Dr. Shauna, I currently use a plant-based laundry detergent with lavender and fabric conditioner without dyes and perfumes. Do you have another recommendation?

I actually start coughing when I smell strong synthetic laundry fragrances on clothing, blankets etc.
