Vaska Laundry Detergent, Good Enough for the Giants, Good Enough For All of Us

In addition to a solar powered stadium and a water-conserving irrigation system, the team uses Vaska, an all-natural, phosphate-free detergent. The company is even local, based across the bay in Berkeley, California.
Since I'm getting to be something of an expert on green laundry practices, the company contacted me and offered a sample of their herbatergent ™. Of course I said yes!
Vaska's herbatergent ™ is made with real herbs and botanical cleaning agents -- hence the name. It's gray water and septic tank safe, and good for people with sensitive skin because it's chemical-free. I also really like that it's concentrated, so it uses as little packaging as possible.
So does it work? Yes, indeed it does. It even got my laundry-picky husband's highest rating, "I can't tell the difference."
It's always fun to do a product review, but my husband hit on the thing that I think is so fun and exciting about Vaska: it's one more example of how normal, mainstream and effective eco-friendly cleaning products have become. There are dozens from which to choose -- it's gotten to the point where there's no reason use an old-fashioned chemical-laden product.
Don't be afraid, give Vaska and some of the other eco-friendly laundry detergents a try. You really can have green laundry without resorting to baking soda and vinegar!
