For a great wash every time:

Step 1. Choose either warm or hot water. If your clothing requires cold water, opt for our  All Sport Wash - Active Wear Detergent instead or pre-dissolve your powder in hot water before adding to your machine!

Step 2. Add the powder directly to your washing machine before adding laundry, for both standard and HE washing machines.

Step 3. Follow up the wash cycle in the dryer with our Wool Dryer Balls!

PRO TIP: If your home has hard water, add ½ cup of white vinegar to balance the pH level. Vinegar is a natural fabric softener! Use Oxygen Whitener as a laundry booster for extra dirty or stained loads — it’s a safe, natural bleach alternative.

Learn More About Our Original Laundry Detergent Powder

This is the product that started it all! Molly’s Suds Original Laundry Detergent Powder was the first laundry powder we created and is our flagship product. As Monica Leonard (owner, founder) began discovering the toxic chemicals included in common household cleaning products, she knew she needed to remove them from her home and replace them with safe, natural cleaning products. 

The one place she couldn’t find a satisfactory natural option? The laundry room! All of the natural products she tried didn’t clean well or left a sticky residue. Some of the ‘natural’ detergents included questionable ingredients. A safe and effective natural laundry detergent powder was nowhere to be found — so, she decided to partner with a green chemist to create her own!

A short time later, our Original Laundry Powder hit the shelves of our newly launched brand, Molly’s Suds. It’s a powerful and gentle detergent powder that remains one of our best sellers to this day.
