Home Economics: Dry Cleaning Alternative
When you love high quality clothing, taking care of the delicate fabrics is a must.
My favorite brands like Theory and Aritzia often have “dry clean only” items - but I’ve found a way to clean my silk shirts and cashmere sweaters sustainably.
I’ve been using The Laundress since last fall and enjoyed their entire laundry line. They also have a home cleaning line as well that I’ll review in the future.
The chemicals involved with dry cleaning can be tough in your fragile fabrics, but using more natural cleaning products at home is both economical and good for the environment.
What stands out to me about The Laundress is that:
It’s a women-owned business. Empowered women empower women. I love supporting businesses, especially women-owned businesses, who took the risk to create something that would make the world better.
The co-founders are experts at what they do. They’ve worked in the textile industry for over a decade and created these products to fill the need for eco-friendly laundry alternatives.
They have a strong foundation on education. You’ll always find creative ways on how to make the most of your products. Whether it’s gently cleaning your laundry or your makeup brushes.
They’ve collaborated with the ultra luxe Le Labo fragrances. Who doesn’t want their clothes to smell like Rose 31 or Santal 33 all the time?
I also bought this cute black laundry hamper, and it feels great putting care into my clothing and knowing what I’m adding to my fabrics rather than dropping it off at my local fluff and fold service.
After all, if you’re investing in quality clothing, it’ll be equally as important to invest in maintaining them and keeping them feeling good as new.
