Method Makes Laundry Eco-Friendly

In this, the latest installment of my ongoing pursuit of green laundry bliss, I present the new Method Laundry Detergent.To those familiar with the Method brand of eco-friendly and beautifully packaged home and personal care cleaning products, this is more of the same good stuff. A plant-based formula, 95% natural and renewable ingredients, biodegradable and non-toxic.
The big news is that their new laundry product has an ultra-concentrated formula, which has several green benefits.
It takes less energy to produce, it creates less waste, and it comes in a much smaller package that uses 36% less plastic that your usual supermarket fare. Naturally, the bottle is made from 50% recycled plastic -- this is Method we're talking about here.
Now the big question: Does it pass the "Fussy Husband Who Likes The Laundry Done His Way" test? And the answer is yes, indeed, with flying colors!
Here are the things that Chief, a.k.a. Mr. Cat Lincoln, likes about the sample of Method Laundry Fresh Air that Method sent us to try:
- The pump detergent delivery system. The worst thing about those big jugs with their measuring cup tops is the inevitable river of blue, soapy sludge that accumulates down the side of the bottle. With the Method stuff I didn't notice a single drip.
- The concentrated formula. This allows you to get a couple dozen loads out of a little 10 ounce bottle, perfect for the urban laundry lumper schlepping a duffel bag full of dirty clothes to the local laundromat.
- It works. I run a warehouse for a living. I get dirty. The Method detergent got my soot and grease-stained work jeans and shirts looking and smelling clean.
To his review, I'll add that I liked the scent a lot. And not that it should matter, but the packaging is really appealing. I have to admit that I would probably buy this because of the cool bottle. Lucky for me (and other design fiends out there) it's a pretty and smart and earth-friendly choice!
