These Laundry Pods pack a powerful punch! Our formula has been designed and performance tested to clean just as well, or better, than the leading generic laundry detergent brands. We bring nature into the science lab to create a powerful formula that uses natural, plant-based enzymes to help you clean everything from coffee stains to grass stains to sweat. This formula is ideal for everyday fabrics commonly washed on regular or permanent press cycles, including cotton, athletic wear, and polyester blends.

Yes! Our pods are septic system safe. The pod membrane is made from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), a water-soluble material that dissolves and biodegrades within hours in septic systems and wastewater treatment facilities. For more details, see this article from the American Cleaning Institute.

Absolutely! Our Laundry Detergent Pods are good to use in both warm and cold water. In fact, we recommend using a cold water cycle since it uses less energy to heat the water.

Many of our customers interchange Laundry Sauce Liquid Laundry Detergent Pod scents based on household member preference, and we haven’t heard any concerns about the scents getting mixed up in a noticeable way. Any residual fragrance in the washing machine should not impact the fragrance performance of the next wash cycle.

Use 1 pod for a regular load of laundry (6 pounds of laundry) and 2 pods for large loads or high capacity machines.

Start by drying your hands before removing the pods from the package. If you have a front-loading machine, place the liquid Laundry Detergent Pod directly to the back of the bottom of the wash drum, not into the special compartment marked for detergent. For regular top-loading machines, place liquid laundry detergent pod directly to the back of the bottom of the wash drum. For best results, do not overload your washing machine.

Next, add clothes and start the machine. For maximum scent strength, line dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Liquid Laundry Detergent Pods should be stored in their original containers, with the lid closed and secured when not in use. Keep the pods out of the reach and sight of children and pets. Recommended storage conditions are 77°F and 50% relative humidity. Storing the laundry pods in humid areas can cause them to stick together. Laundry Pods should always be handled with dry hands.

For delicate fabrics such as silk or satin, we recommend reading the wash instructions on your garment label since these types of fabrics can easily be damaged by the agitation of a washing machine and the ingredients used in harsh laundry detergents. Here are some tips for washing delicate fabrics:

• Hand Wash: It's best to hand wash silk and satin in cold water using a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
• Use a Gentle Detergent: Choose a mild detergent that is formulated for delicate fabrics. There are detergents specifically made for silk and satin.
• Avoid Soaking: Do not soak silk or satin for long periods. A quick wash and rinse are sufficient.
• Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing the fabric to avoid damaging the fibers.
• Dry Flat: Lay the fabric flat on a clean towel to dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Machine Wash (if necessary): If you must use a washing machine, place the fabric in a mesh laundry bag, use the delicate cycle, and ensure you are using a gentle detergent, such as Laundry Sauce. However, hand washing is always the safer option.

We proudly use a non-oxidizing detergent formula in our laundry detergent pods. Our non-oxidizing detergent is more gentle on fabrics, less likely to irritate sensitive skin, less likely to cause color fading, more environmentally friendly, and won't break down fabric fibers as aggressively as oxidizing detergents found in other brands.
