No sulfates
No fillers
No dyes
No fragrance
Just a fresh, natural clean made with the following:
1. Our powdered laundry soap starts with our unscented coconut oil based Laundry Bar. You can read more about it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/240291759
2. Borax (sodium tetraborate) is a natural mineral. Its qualities as a cleansing agent are thought to have been discovered by Native Americans when they were washing their clothes in a stream near a borax deposit. It helps remove tough stains, deodorizes, and naturally softens hard water. It is demonstrated to be as effective as many color-safe bleaches that are commercially available.
3. Washing soda (sodium carbonate) has long been prized as a laundry booster and odor neutralizer. It's particularly effective on ground-in dirt and stains and has the ability to power through greasy soils.
A little goes a long way. For a regular load, 1 tablespoon will do the job--more for extra-large or heavily soiled loads, less for high-efficiency, front-loading washers. This bag will clean up to 48 loads or more. Full instructions are included on the label. Please note: This is a low-suds laundry soap. In fact, seeing suds in your wash may mean you're using too much!
Dave says: "I had two white dress shirts that I'd stopped wearing because we couldn't get out the grimy ring around the collar. We'd tried several expensive pre-treatments and washed them again and again with no success. I was about to throw them away when we began testing this laundry soap. I put them in our washer with 1 tablespoon of this laundry soap and ran them through on the warm cycle. When they came out of the wash, I couldn't believe what I was seeing--the stains had faded almost to the point that I couldn't find them. While the shirts were still damp, I rubbed one of the laundry bars all over the remaining stain and washed them again. They came out of the wash looking fresh and bright with no sign left of the collar stains. I'm so glad I didn't throw those shirts away! No more commercial laundry detergents for us!"
If you'd like to make your own unscented laundry soap, we recommend that you begin with our laundry bar to be found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/240291759. Send us a note with your order and we'll be glad to include the recipe we use!
PLEASE NOTE: Our unscented products include no added fragrance and are suitable for most people who prefer an unscented product. They are, however, produced and stored in the same place as a wide variety of scented soaps, and therefore may not be suitable for individuals with severe fragrance sensitivities.

To fulfill your order, you must provide us (Moss Lane Soaps, LLC) with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to us), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of soap, for example), if you contact me directly.
2. Why We Need Your Information and How We Use It. We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
--as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
--when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
--if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure. Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
--Etsy. We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
--Service providers. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to our shop, such as delivery companies. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
--Business transfers. If we sell or merge our business, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
--Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers, or others.
4. Data Retention. We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and as described in our Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the European Union. Our business is based in the United States of America and may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If we are deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we will use a Privacy Shield certified service and therefore rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer.
6. Your Rights. If you reside in certain territories, including the European Union, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below:
--Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
--Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request.
--Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
--Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
