A new green, powerful laundry method


January 18, 2010


Maybe lugging huge jugs of laundry detergent is part of your fitness regime, building up your biceps hauling around those bulky bottles.

But if you'd rather travel light, check out new Method Laundry Detergent. A 20-ounce bottle of the ultra-concentrated detergent, which is 95 percent plant-based, can do 50 loads.

Pump just four to six squirts from the bottle and the laundry gets clean. An extra squirt or two does the trick on a tough stain, too.

People always say that good things come in small packages, and in this case, they're right. Producing Method Laundry's compact recyclable bottle requires less plastic, and that means less energy, as well.

Method Laundry Detergent comes in three varieties — Free + Clear, Peony Blossom and Fresh Air — and in 20-ounce and 10-ounce sizes, priced at $15 and $8. They're just hitting the shelves in some areas at Whole Foods, Lowe's and other grocery and drug stores and will be available at Target by mid-February. For more, go to www.methodlaundry.com.
