It's pretty simple!

We compound these two scents together and make sure they are compatible with/perform in our product. Our fragrance department has nearly a decade of experience working with scents, and will make sure that the two scents you chose can be smelled equally in the product you ordered
There is no restriction on what scents can be ordered together- we aren't the smell police! We've built many unique scent combos and haven't gotten one that smells bad yet, so let your imagination run wild.

Washing Directions
Washing Directions
Small load – 1/2 to 1 oz of detergent
Medium load – 1 to 2 oz of detergent
Large load – 2 oz of detergent
We do NOT recommend overfilling your laundry tub with clothes. It is best to work with a medium size load and about 1 oz of detergent. This way your laundry tumbles/swishes around in the tub and gets plenty of water and detergent on all the garments to ensure a proper cleaning.
When to use Hot Water
Hot water is good for whites, typical dirty clothes, sweaty active wear and diapers. Hot water is best to remove germs, kill dust mites and heavily soiled items.
When to use Warm Water
Warm water is good for cleaning most man-made fibers, knits and jeans. It will clean without fading or significant shrinking.
When to use Cold Water
Cold water is best for dark, bright colors that bleed or delicate fabrics. Pre-treat or pre-soak your clothes if items are heavily soiled.
Stain Removing Tips
Stain Removing Tips
Simply place a little detergent directly on the stain and scrub the fabric together. Some stains respond better with cold-water vs hot water. For more details on a specific stain removal, please see our blog posts.
