Why we don't recommend washing your floors with Laundry Detergent!

Posted on

At Nellie's, we take pride in knowing that most of our products have multiple functions, and our packaging can be reused for other purposes. Our founder is adamant we don't create products that serve the same purpose and label them differently. 

Our Tuesday Tips show you other ways to use Nellie's products and packaging around the house, saving you time and money! 

Even though our Laundry Soda  is amazing and safe for the whole family's laundry, we don't recommend washing your floors with chemicals OR  Laundry Soap! 

 

Here's why: 

 

  • The Alkalis in Laundry Soap are too strong for floors - floors need a neutral PH. 
  • Chemicals found in common household laundry detergents can be harmful to kids and pets - who spend time on floors. 
  • The average washing machine uses 19 gallons of water per load with measured laundry soap - the amount you would use to mop is so much less! It would be impossible to accomplish this ratio in a bucket. 
  • Floor manufacturer's warranties would be invalid if using a product not labelled for floors was proven to cause damage. 
  • To avoid streaks and buildup, you would have to mop 2-3 times to rinse clean! 

We recommend using any planet-friendly floor-specific cleaner you like - OR try Nellie's #1 Best Selling  Floor Care
