When most people think of a product that has the power to lift stains, brighten whites, and disinfect fabrics, most will think of conventional bleach. It might get your clothes looking bright, but you run the risk of dangers to your health and the environment!

What exactly is bleach?

Bleach is a chlorine-based corrosive substance that uses a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite to turn coloured organic compounds into colourless ones. It’s a corrosive substance that – even when diluted – can cause burns, irritations, and damage home surfaces. Since bleach is strong enough to kill some of the worst bacteria, it makes sense that it poses a risk to anyone that uses it! It can especially be harmful to babies, young children, and pets, as their immune systems can’t fight off the harsh chemicals.
Serious effects of bleach can include skin burns, respiratory problems, damage to the nervous system, asthma flare-ups, headaches, and vomiting. Bleach is not only toxic to humans, but to animals and our environment! Bleach is a known contributor to water pollution. When it makes its way into our water systems, it reacts with other minerals and elements to create a host of dangerous toxins that can take years to naturally break down. Even the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has banned the use of bleach in restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and schools. Shouldn’t we do the same in our homes?
Thankfully, the answer is easy – Nellie’s Oxygen Brightener brightens your whites and penetrates stains without hurting you, your family, or the environment! Thanks to the power of oxygen, our formula strips away dirt, grit, odour, and grime. The chlorine-free formula is colour-safe, septic safe, hypoallergenic, environmentally-friendly, and biodegradable, just like all of Nellie’s products.

If you thought you washed a lot of clothes before becoming a parent, hold onto your laundry basket! The average family accumulates 8 to 10 loads of laundry each week – and because newborns have extra-sensitive skin, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you start washing baby’s clothes before he or she even arrives.

Do you need a special laundry detergent for baby clothes?

The decision is entirely up to you! It’s true that some families toss everyone’s dirty clothes in the same load, but using the same detergent for all isn’t ideal when a newborn is in the mix. Many detergents contain chemicals and fragrances that can irritate baby’s delicate skin. If you’re eczema-prone or have sensitive skin, chances are baby may react negatively to harsh ingredients.
While Nellie’s Laundry Soda is formulated with sensitive skin in mind and is (as always!) hypoallergenic, Nellie’s Baby Laundry is specially formulated to deal with baby’s unavoidable mishaps. We’ve added a concentration of Sodium Percarbonate for natural brightening, plus pure vegetable soap. Now there's no need for any additional whiteners or brighteners! Everything you need, in one scoop!
Baby Laundry’s stain fighting power is effective on cloth diapers and removes stubborn baby stains like milk, baby formula, and spit-up. The formula is plant and mineral-based, and it’s non-allergenic, gentle on baby’s skin, and leaves no residue or fragrance on fabrics. Tough on stains, gentle on baby's sensitive skin. It's ideal for baby's clothes and bedding!

Maybe we’re old fashioned (or simply hygienic), but we think the place responsible for cleaning you should be pretty clean too! Nellie’s line of bathroom products not only provides exceptional eco-friendly cleaning power against bathroom dirt and grime, but it leaves the room smelling great too – all without harsh chemicals, phosphates, dyes, perfumes, and no SLS or SLES! Keep reading to find out how you can get a green clean for your bathroom.

Shower & Bath Cleaner

Cleaning the shower or bath is no fun, no matter how good your cleaning playlist is. Cut back on the scrubbing with the Shower & Bath Cleaner. Use it as a daily cleaner as well as a general deep clean. Simply turn the nozzle to the ‘ON’ position and spray away! For general shower cleaning, spray the entire area and allow the solution to set for at least 30 seconds to loosen the dirt and soap scum. Scrub with a non-abrasive sponge if necessary, and then rinse and wipe clean. For daily shower cleaning, mist all wet surfaces (including the shower curtain) right after your shower and allow to dry. Don’t use on natural stone, marble, brass, or damaged/cracked surfaces.

All-Purpose Cleaner

The All-Purpose Cleaner truly lives up to its name – you can get an eco-friendly clean from the kitchen, the hallway, your outdoor space, and more! In the bathroom, it’s ideal for counters and any other surface that gets toothpaste marks and finger prints.
