Top 6 All-Natural Laundry Soaps Under $35
As adults, most of us rarely make a fuss about the laundry detergent we use, unless perhaps it’s to compare prices. However, the same mindset can’t apply when we’re grocery shopping for our babies and all-natural laundry soaps are important. After all, we need to make sure that the products we use for our little ones are all safe and won’t have any adverse effects on their health and well-being. In this case, choosing all-natural, eco-friendly products can save you from headaches while also allowing you to do your part in saving the environment.
When it comes to soaps, parents should choose the best eco-friendly soaps for bathing, as well as for washing clothes. Going down the green path can minimize your baby’s risk of experiencing allergies, rashes, and baby eczema while also cutting down your carbon footprint. This is especially important when picking the right laundry detergent as many commercial detergents might leave chemical residue on your little one’s clothes.
For earth-friendly, budget-conscious parents, we put together a list of the top 6 soaps right now including Orange House hand soap.
1. Orange House Liquid Hand Soap
Before we get into laundry detergents offered by Orange House and other great brands, we reached out to Orange Hosue to test out their hand soap a few weeks back and we have been using it aggressively. So far we’ve loved the fresh orange scent and how gentle it is on our hands. After 2 weeks we’ve used about half of one little bottle and it’s amazing compared to some of our previous natural hand soaps. The fact that it’s cold-pressed using already juiced orange peels was really important to us and makes their products very sustainable. A strange observation Steve made is about the hand soap bottle itself. The feeling when you press down for the soap is important (apparently) and Orange House passed this test with flying colors!
These are the 5 key features of Orange House hand soap that we’ve been really impressed by:
- 100% cold-pressed orange oil and plant-based ingredients wash away dirt and grime easily.
- Cold-pressed by citrus peels that are wasted after juicing makes this quite sustainable. Orange House technology creates not only high quality products but better food utilization.
- The liquid hand wash provides hydration for dry hands. Works great in the kitchen, bathroom, and office
- Orange House is dermatologically tested and USDA certified. Gentle enough for any age.
- No harmful chemicals, fragrances, artificial colorants and 0% toxic chemical solvent.
In addition to the hand soap, as mentioned Orange House has an amazing eco-friendly laundry detergent available on AMAZON! This is our current favorite brand that we’re testing out now and highly recommend giving it a try!

Its dirt and stain-fighting enzymes pack a punch without causing allergies and rashes. It also doesn’t leave a harmful residue on your baby’s clothes. This biodegradable laundry detergent is compatible with both conventional and high-efficiency washing machines.

4. Puracy Natural Liquid Detergent
What separates the Puracy natural liquid detergent from others is the fact that it’s created by doctors for people with allergies and sensitive skin. Thus, its formula doesn’t contain any sulfates, bleach, or other harsh chemicals such as phosphates, petrochemicals, animal by-products, chlorine, perfumes, gluten, tree nut-based ingredients, dyes, and allergens. It’s also safe for delicate fabrics and dark clothing, as well as microfiber towels, cloth diapers, and even greywater and septic systems. What’s more, one load only requires a fourth of an ounce, thus contributing to waste reduction by more than 80%.

With 97% of its ingredients derived from plants, this detergent is free from dyes, synthetic fragrances, and artificial brighteners. It is also certified by the USDA as a biobased product, and its formula uses less added water, allowing you to wash double the load capacity of regular laundry bottles. Parents who are economizing will find this affordable detergent worth the price as a 40-oz. container can wash as many as 53 loads.

6. Tru Earth Laundry Detergent Sheets
Unlike other regular detergents, the Tru Earth laundry detergent sheets aren’t made from typical powder or liquid formulas. Instead, this detergent uses vegan-friendly, paraben-free eco-strips that can save space, do away with measuring, and minimize spills. Each eco-strip is also compostable and one strip is equivalent to one load. However, don’t be fooled by their small size as these detergent strips are just as effective in removing tough stains, thus revealing your clothes’ vibrant colors and restoring radiant whites.
Its ultra-efficient, compact, and plastic-free packaging also reduces fuel consumption for transportation and global-warming carbon emissions by 94% compared to commercial detergents. Conventional or high-efficiency washing machines are also compatible with these premeasured laundry strips.
