I’m a compulsive label-reader. When I retired and started doing more chores around the house, I started reading the labels on the stuff in our laundry room. I’ll admit, I didn’t know what most of those ingredients were, so I Googled them. I was shocked at what I learned! Sulfates, for example, are made from petroleum. Then I started reading labels in the laundry aisle at the supermarket. Even the “environmentally friendly” and “free and clear” products still have lots of chemicals that I don’t want in my clothes or in the environment. So I decided to make my own, and PureClean Essentials Pure Laundry Soap Flakes are the result. No sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, just soap made from pure, organic, sustainable vegetable oils.

Palm oil is an important ingredient for my laundry soap, because it makes the soap hard enough to grind into flakes. When I discovered Palm Done Right, I was thrilled that I could use palm oil and be kind to the Earth, too.
