In September we find ourselves putting away summer clothes to renew the autumn ones. The first sweaters, the first light jackets but above all our beloved favorite jeans. The season changes and it's time to make a change in the wardrobes. But not only that. In this period, cleaning and hygiene of the environments where we live are fundamental. The Laundress laundry and home line specializes in all of this. Born in New York in 2004 from an idea by Lindsey Wieber and Gwen Whiting, The Laundress is an eco-friendly brand. The two founders have evaluated the importance of taking care of one's personal clothes and home, trying to combine the best and most effective ingredients with delicate fragrances, in order to create a sophisticated and innovative collection. The brand offers excellent alternatives to traditional detergents.
But how do we take care of our denim? And our laundry?
The Classic fragrance Denim Wash is a product that combines a detergent and a fabric softener to wash and soften your jeans. It can be used for both hand and machine washing and is perfect for renewing those jeans we love so much. Fabric Fresh can be applied together, a spray product suitable for refreshing your clothes, shoes, especially trainers, and your sportswear. In addition to removing bad odors, it is also an excellent antibacterial, which is essential in this emergency period.
Sport Detergent , on the other hand, is the detergent specifically created to effectively and gently wash fabrics such as cotton, lycra, spandex & co., very common for sportswear.
And for washing delicate items such as lingerie and white garments? The Laundress has created two dedicated detergents: Delicate Wash Lady Detergent and White Detergent Classic . The latter is perfect for washing white laundry, to keep them white and bright thanks to the action of the optical brightener and is a natural alternative to bleach. Wash Lady , on the other hand, is a detergent for washing effectively while respecting even the most delicate fabrics such as lingerie and underwear. It has a very sexy amber scent, which both men and women like. It can be used for both hand and machine washing. This product contains only natural ingredients and is free from: dyes, sulphates, phosphates, chlorine, bleach and animal fat.
For sportier garments, those we wear in the gym or while running outdoors, we recommend Sport Detergent , specially created to effectively and gently wash fabrics such as cotton, lycra, spandex, etc.
But what about cleaning and hygiene of our environments? Here are some important tips!
For glass or mirrored surfaces : Glass & Mirror Cleaner is the perfect cleaner to give a brilliant and luminous effect to mirrors, windows and other glass surfaces without leaving streaks. This product combines a high percentage of active ingredients that are effective and environmentally friendly. For perfect cleaning you can use the special Copper Cloth . A two-layer cloth is woven with non-abrasive copper threads that are specifically designed not to scratch. Extremely versatile, it can be used on delicate glass and porcelain or to remove stubborn dirt and rust build-up on everyday pans.
For your dirty gym clothes or for your travels: The Laundress Hotel Laundry Bag is perfect for home, travel or the gym. The bag easily hangs on a door, or hooks, or sits in the closet. If only everything in your life was this versatile… it will never be enough!
Here are some quick rules for cleaning and hygiene!
In general, let's always remember to wash our hands and change the air in the environments where we live. Hygiene and cleanliness start with us and in the places where we live or work. In the kitchen, moreover, it is essential to be scrupulous in cleaning also to guarantee maximum food safety, through adequate hygiene of the sink, refrigerator and work surfaces. An environment like the bathroom is certainly no exception: sink, tub, shower and toilet (including the toilet brush!) cannot be neglected and always require care.
A gesture that should be part of our regular habits is cleaning and disinfecting the kitchen bin: after washing the bin with hot water and soap, and drying it with paper, you can complete the operation using a disinfectant. Furthermore, we must not forget the kitchen towels and bathroom towels: both should always be washed and replaced frequently.
Lastly, we recommend Stain Solution , a natural enzyme-based product designed to remove the toughest, most stubborn stains, such as wine, coffee, and grass. And to nibble away at our delicate knits and fine wools, The Laundress has created Sweater Comb . A comb for use on sweaters, scarves, wool coats, and even pant legs. Two fine wire mesh screens on a cedarwood handle gently pick up stray pills while leaving renewed yarns behind. Simply glide in one direction over the targeted areas.
