Organic Fabric Softener

Acetic Acid (vinegar, derived from sugar cane)

High-Purity Water • charcoal-filtered, reverse osmosis, UV-sanitized

There may be bits of floating material in the product. The material that you see floating that is yellow or even white in appearance is the “Mother”.  This naturally occurring cellulose from organic sugar-cane vinegar that precipitates during dilution. It is harmless.

What the Material Is:

The particles are naturally occurring vinegar “mother” material, also known as bacterial cellulose. This cellulose is produced by acetic acid bacteria during vinegar fermentation and is common in organic, unfiltered agricultural vinegars, especially those derived from sugar cane.

This material is:

• Harmless
• Naturally occurring
• Not plastic, not foreign debris, and not a chemical contaminant

This can happen intermittently due to:

• Natural variation in sugar cane crops
• Age of the vinegar
• Temperature during dilution
• Degree of agitation
• Timing between dilution and use

What This Is NOT

• Not microbial contamination or spoilage
• Not container degradation (HDPE does not peel or dissolve this way)
• Not a sanitation failure

The acidic environment of vinegar strongly inhibits harmful microbial growth.

For Half Gallon and Gallon, we do not automatically provide a pump with with our products because our goal is to reduce waste.

If you would like a pump, we offer that as an additional option in our accessory section. Our pumps are cut specifically for the size bottle you have chosen, so be sure to order for the type of bottle that you purchased:
