a greener clean

25 fresh  a greener clean

Say goodbye to the clunky jugs and embrace something far greener: Method`s powerful, eco-friendly laundry detergent. Having landed in Canadian stores just this week (Shopper`s Drug Mart, Loblaws and Canadian Tire among many more), Method laundry detergent is well worth foaming over.


The Science-y Stuff

Method`s unique ‘smartclean technology` turns detergent molecules inside-out, leaving surfacants (or cleaning agents) exposed, using less water in the detergent, but working harder to get rid of stains.


The Highlights

• it`s hypo-allergenic and biodegradable, made with 95% natural and renewable ingredients

• it`s 8x concentrated, requiring only ¼ the dose of leading national brands

• the patented bottle and pump system doesn`t allow you to “overdose” on detergent

• the packaging is sleek and easy to store, not to mention environmentally responsible (recyclable and made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic)

Price: $17/600 mL bottle, $9/300 mL bottle

Available at: (in stores) Shopper`s Drug Mart, Loblaws and Canadian Tire among many more (online) www.methodlaundry.com

dirty secrets

laundry beauty champagne machines black cabinetry dirty secretsYou know what it feels like – pulling a favourite sweater out of the wash only to find that it’s morphed into doll’s clothes? Or that it wasn’t quite as bleachable as you’d originally thought? We’re not alone, my friends. A new study suggests that one-third of us have ruined favourite pieces of clothing because of guesswork in the laundry room. Guys are even more likely to need a laundry refresher, as only 14 per cent of men surveyed in the survey said they knew exactly how much soap and water to use for a load… That’s why I’m so excited about the new GE Profile SmartDispense Frontload Laundry Pair. It takes away the guesswork by selecting the required amount of water and detergent based on each load’s size, soil level, fabric type and water hardness. No more guesswork, and no more frantic calls to mom on how to deal with “accidental felting”…
