Many people put their clothes through an extra rinse cycle to get out as much detergent as possible.
Now there’s evidence they were right — and there’s a lot more at stake than acne or a skin rash. As the stand-up comedians used to say, “This one will kill you.” In fact, “clean” may be worse than “dirty” when it comes to your clothes. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ll tell you how in a moment.
The toxic mistakes nearly everyone makes when cleaning clothes
Every week the average family washes a whopping 80 pounds of laundry — 35 BILLION loads per year nationally. At a half cup of laundry soap per load, Americans use a staggering 17.5 billion cups of laundry soap per year. And don’t forget all that rinse water.
Just how safe are the products used for all that laundry?
As it turns out, not very…
Laundry soap products emit an average of 17 toxins which do not need to be declared on the label, and are often disguised by other names.
These potential dangers range from relatively minor (skin irritations) to severe (cancer, poisoning, and neurological problems).
Your skin is a mere 3mm thick. For decades it was thought to be a barrier to all potentially harmful chemicals. But in recent years, scientists have discovered that all kinds of substances can penetrate the skin.
You may be exposing your body to damaging chemicals every day, some of which your skin can react with to produce chemicals that are even more toxic.
Fortunately, these problems are largely preventable once you know about them.
Clean and fresh… or full of poisons?
Is “clean and fresh” merely a ruse?
Even so-called ‘green’ products emit toxic chemicals — especially scented detergents. A full one-third of them emitted at least one chemical labeled a possible carcinogen by the EPA.
A significant unlabeled danger is 1,4-dioxane — a by-product of the synthetic petrochemical surfactant Ethox. 1,4-dioxane binds with water and remains in the environment a long time. A known carcinogen, it’s also linked to brain and nervous system toxicity, liver, kidney and respiratory disease, and immune damage and hormone disruption.
Additional risks include sodium laurel sulfate (SLS) — a chemical foaming agent, linked to numerous health issues… phenols — a rapidly absorbed carcinogen that can cause system-wide toxicity… ammonia — linked to cataracts, corneal damage, bronchitis and pneumonia… household bleach — a corrosive which can cause severe eye, skin, and respiratory problems, caustic burns, and — when mixed with other chemicals — hazardous fumes.
In addition, there are phosphates, which enhance a detergent’s cleansing power — but can’t be removed by waste water treatment plants. Phosphates cause nausea, diarrhea, and skin irritation. Another one is Nonylphenol Ethoxylate (NPE) — a petrochemical now banned in the EU and Canada for causing liver and kidney damage. One large retailer has asked its suppliers to eliminate this killer.
I’ll tell you how to eliminate your laundry detergent risks in a moment. But first…
Great dryer scent may be something you can’t tolerate
Unfortunately, fabric softeners and dryer sheets may give your sheets and clothes a nice smell, but they’re just as laden with chemicals as your washer’s detergent. They may be the most toxic part of the entire laundering process.
They contain:
- Benzyl acetate — linked to pancreatic cancer
- Limonene — a carcinogen
- Ethyl acetate — on the EPA hazardous waste list
- Chloroform — a neurotoxin, anesthetic, and carcinogen
- Pentane — dangerous when inhaled (no more deep breathing the scent of clean clothes!)
With this kind of risk, you may want to make some changes to your weekly laundry procedures.
Removing your risk isn’t hard to do
I’m not suggesting you never launder your clothes. As often happens, you’re halfway to solving the problem if you just know it exists.
So, now that you know the problem…. it’s time to tell you the solution. It is:
Laundry NO Detergent, Bleach, Softener OR Hot Water
Impossible? Not so fast!!! Hospitals, the hospitality industry and some commercial laundromats have been using technology allowing them to accomplish this for more than a decade!
Thanks to a variation of the technology originally developed with the space agency for use aboard the International Space Station, there is a product called Laundry Pure, which allows you to have this capability in your own home. Laundry Pure uses Active Pure, which changes the composition of the plain water coming out of your wall. The water is infused with oxygen, peroxides, and other gases to bubble and gently lift dirt and grime from cloth fibers, leaving towels softer and fluffier, and clothes brighter and cleaner.
Active Pure Technology uses the cleaning action of activated oxygen to lift dirt and grime away from the fibers of fabric and prevent the growth of odor–causing bacteria. It easily installs on either front load or top load residential washers. LaundryPure is an amazingly effective cold water laundry system for residential use.
Landry Pure enables you to get your clothes cleaner, have them smell fresher, be fluffier and brighter. It also helps your clothes last longer because the abrasive action of detergents and bleach aren’t present. It also reduces or eliminates skin irritations from the harsh chemicals left behind by these products. This is especially good for the health of children or people with sensitive skin. Best of all, you don’t pollute the water table with the chemical laden water from the laundry. Help your family help our environment.
- Laundry Pure is a device that puts the technology of nature to work in the laundry room at home.
- Every load helps save energy and money. Reducing or eliminating detergent means less residue and abrasives to weigh down and wear out fabrics, and of course, less detergent to buy. Washing in cold water reduces the weekly demand on the household water heater and the energy bill.

With Laundry Pure you save time and money! Money because you no longer need spend your hard earned money buying detergents, softeners, or bleach. You save money by not using hot water. The U.S. department of energy says 30% or more of the cost of doing a load of laundry can be the cost of heating the water. You save time because by not using hot water or bleach, there is no need for pre-sorting your clothes. Laundry is so easy that “even husbands and kids can do it!” As an added bonus, you help the environment by not polluting our water tables with chemically polluted wash water and help reduce the burden on our landfills by having no detergent, bleach or softener packaging to dispose of. The plastic containers most often don’t bio-degrade, so they are present for years and years!
Also, no need for a rinse cycle so you use less water! If you happen to live in an area of drought, a typical load of laundry uses about 40 gallons of water, half of which is used in the rinse cycle. If you do the average of 7.5 loads of laundry per week, that adds up to 150 gallons per week, or a staggering 7,800 gallons per year! By the way…How much do you pay for water?
Don’t be fooled by imitators. Laundry Pure is a proven product, tested by universities and news organization consumer reports shows. It is the ONLY laundry system to have been given the official Space Certified Technology™ certification. It is in its 5th generation, having the newest technology and is Maintenance Free and has a three year warranty.
Don’t delay. Start protecting yourself and your family (And your clothes), help the environment by not dumping chemically polluted wash water into the sewers and our water tables, and best of all…SAVE MONEY!!! Check out the Laundry Pure System for yourself. GET YOURS TODAY!
