Our Measuring Pumps for Half Gallon & Gallon containers dispense exactly 1oz.
With our highly concentrated active ingredients, we do NOT recommend overfilling your laundry tub with clothes.Ā It is best to work with a medium size load and about 1 oz of detergent.Ā This way your laundry tumbles/swishes around in the tub and gets plenty of water and detergent on all the garments to ensure proper cleaning.
If you have lots of bubbles in your washing machine, decrease how much detergent you use.
If you have hard water use our Oxyboost to help soften the water so the detergent can work more efficiently.
Septic and graywater safe.
When to use Hot Water
Hot water is good for whites, typical dirty clothes, sweaty active wear, and diapers.Ā Hot water is best to remove germs, kill dust mites, and heavily soiled items.
When to use Warm Water
Warm waterĀ is good for cleaning most man-made fibers, knits, and jeans.Ā It will clean without fading or significant shrinking.
When to use Cold Water
Cold water is best for dark colors, bright colors that bleed, or delicate fabrics. Pre-treat or pre-soak your clothes if items are heavily soiled.

I recently made the switch to this non-toxic detergent after reading so many outstanding reviews and discovering its popularity within the non/low-tox community. Iām thrilled to say it exceeded my expectations! I enjoy a hint of scent in my laundry, and this detergent delivers with a light, refreshing fragrance that isnāt overpowering. More importantly, its cleaning performance is exceptionalāmy clothes come out spotless every time.
While thereās often controversy around āfragrance,ā I appreciate that this brand uses some synthetic fragrances in a way that feels thoughtful and safe. Their dedication to transparency is unparalleled, with every ingredient clearly listed and easily accessible on their website.
Another standout feature is their commitment to sustainability. I love the flexibility of refilling their productsāeither through local refilleries or directly from them. Combining low-tox, sustainable, and low-waste practices makes this a triple win in my book!
This set was a perfect starter addition and my family loves the fresh linen scent. This is my new detergent for life.
My clothes have never been brighter !
So thankful my sister in law recommended Rustic Strength! Using clean products (especially ones that work) is super important in our household, and we love our new laundry detergent! It leaves our clothes feeling soft, clean and not overly fragrant. Iāll be ordering from them again. My only wish is that for the price, we got more loads out of it, but Iāll be choosing the bigger size this next order.
