The Hidden Dangers in Commercial Laundry Detergents (And What to Use Instead)

What’s Really in Your Laundry Detergent?

Most commercial laundry detergents promise fresh, clean clothes—but at what cost? Many contain harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and irritants that can linger on your fabrics, affecting your skin and indoor air quality.

If you’ve ever experienced itchy skin, allergies, or respiratory issues, your detergent may be to blame. At Sea Spray Soap, we believe in a better way: natural, biodegradable, and non-toxic cleaning solutions that actually work.


Hidden Toxins in Commercial Laundry Detergents

🔍 Synthetic Fragrances – These can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals that may cause skin irritation and disrupt hormones.

🧪 Sulfates & Surfactants – Ingredients like SLS and SLES strip oils from your skin and can cause dryness or irritation.

🚫 Optical Brighteners & Dyes – These leave behind chemical residues that don’t rinse out, exposing your skin to unnecessary irritants.

💨 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Found in some detergents, these chemicals can contribute to indoor air pollution and respiratory issues.

Our Natural Laundry Soap is free from synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and harsh chemicals, making it a perfect alternative for sensitive skin and eco-conscious households.

How to Make the Switch to Non-Toxic Laundry Care

2️⃣ Switch to Natural Laundry Soap – Our Natural Laundry Soap deep cleans without toxic residues.

3️⃣ Try Wool Dryer Balls Instead of Dryer Sheets – Conventional dryer sheets coat clothes with chemicals, while wool dryer balls naturally reduce static and soften fabrics.
