Foodie Friday: When Life Gives You Lemons.....

Lessons In Laundry From The Laundress

{ Via: The Laundress }

It turns out that there is much to be learned from laundry. Today our lessons are taught from The Laundress founders,  Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd, who before creating their brand, came from the fashion industry.  They wondered why women were using toxic products on their fine fashion? So they created eco-friendly detergent, fabric care, and cleaning products. All of it takes good care of the things you love and the environment.  If you haven't tried their pretty products, today is your day! Everything is 25% off and you get a free 8 oz Detergent. 

Use Code: PARTY25.

Now let's get cleaning.

No 723 Laundry Detergent

Brand new and yours free with any purchase. This scent inspired by damask roses. The fragrance is said to be mysterious, alluring and super fresh.  But most importantly, this formula whitens, brightens, preserves color, and removes stains. This product is so new that it is excluded from the discount. But enjoy your 8 ounce bottle as a gift.

10 Reasons Why You Should Swap Chlorine Bleach for All-Purpose Bleach Alternative

“Green” your clean routine with an All-Purpose Bleach Alternative! These oxygen-powered, water-activated crystals are 100% free of harsh chlorine-bleach but the results are just as real. 

Fashion Emergency Kit

Who hasn't had one of these emergencies? A great idea to keep in your bag, desk drawer, or on hand for important events like your wedding day! The set includes a spray for static. Great to have around in the

 colder months.

The Dermatologist-Approved Way To Clean Your Face Masks

Let's face it. Masks are hot. And they are not the best things for our complexion, but they are lifesavers. I find myself washing mine daily, but those lipstick prints are hard to get off! Here's how....

Kitchen Bar Soap
One of the most effective ways to stop the spread of viruses, we are told, is washing our hands thoroughly. This non toxic soap contains fat-like substances known as amphiphiles that compete with lipids (fats) in the virus membrane. It will take away odors, stains, and clean your cutting boards, too, without harming your hands.

Delicate Wash
This gentle, plant derived formula allows you to avoid the chemical heavy process of dry cleaning. It's better for you and the environment, not to mention, it will save you money in the long run.

How To Clean Your Washer & Dryer
Here's how to keep your washer and dryer clean, so that they will keep you even more clean.

Tips & Tricks For Cleaning With Scented Vinegar
I bought this today. Vinegar is a perfect cleaner, except for the strong scent. This multi-purpose product gets glassware to sparkle, removes bathtub film, takes care of kitchen messes, and smells terrific. 

Surface Cleaner
Highly concentrated, yet safe to use around food and kids. Can you say that about what you use now? "This fresh scent blends eucalyptus with notes of pine and hints of rose, lily of the valley, bergamot, ylang-ylang, and thyme. " 

Le Labo Duo

I totally understand wanting your laundry to smell like your favorite fragrance. This collaboration of modern perfumery and their best performing detergent, truly refines the art of laundry.

Removing Berry Stains
Berries are one of the best parts of Summer, but they sure can be messy. Enter the Laundress stain removers to easily and effectively removes
 fruity messes.

Sport Spray & Detergent
Our sports accessories and apparel are soaking up the sun, sea, or chlorine, all of which can lead to fading. Proper care for our summer staples is simple with these products. "A fresh, crisp blend of leafy greens, orange, rose, eucalyptus, and jasmine with undertones 
of musk."
