The Laundress is Having a Rare Sale—And It Includes Editor- and Reader-Approved Favorites!
It’s true all the time, but right now it’s more important than ever: Do not mess around when it comes to laundry. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S., we’ve discussed plenty of laundry tips and tricks and made expert-approved recommendations—but one brand seems to have come out on top in the hearts of both AT editors and readers. I’m talking, of course, about The Laundress, a luxury brand that makes specialty products like detergents, tools, and more for the laundry room. Right now, they’re having a rare sale, with 25 percent off their most eco-friendly products with code CLEANSTART. We rounded up our top picks from the sale that are editor- and reader-approved.
Wool & Cashmere Shampoo
Unable to dry clean your clothes right now? No worries—you can easily dry clean your most delicate clothing right at home, as long as you have the right tools. In particular, we recommend this specialty detergent, which is formulated for wool and cashmere but can be used on any fabric. It’s made with a blend of plant-derived surfactants, and is free of petroleum, phosphate, phthalates, and artificial color.

All-Purpose Bleach Alternative
I’m currently at home with my parents, and my mom’s go-to laundry sanitizing product has been out of stock for about two months. This bleach alternative is a great replacement, containing no chlorine bleach yet still quite effective at removing dirt, stains, and odors. It’s safe for all colors and fabrics (except silk and wool), and can even be used to clean the rest of your home!

Signature Detergent
It’s definitely more expensive than your typical detergent, but this is not your typical detergent. According to one of our writers, The Laundress’s Signature Detergent is well worth the splurge. It’s an all-purpose product, made to whiten, brighten, preserve color, and remove stains, and is nontoxic, biodegradable, and allergen-free. Our writer says that it helps her take better care of her clothes, and be more mindful of what and how much she’s laundering.
