Toxin + Irritant Free | Ditch the toxins and irritants found in most detergents. Our Liquid Laundry Detergent is hypoallergenic and completely dye-free ∙ perfume-free ∙ SLS-free ∙ SLES-free ∙ sulfate-free ∙ paraben-free ∙ phthalate-free ∙ 1,4-dioxane-free ∙ ethoxylated alcohol-free ∙ optical brightener-free ∙ filler-free ∙ petroleum-free ∙ palm oil-free ∙ gluten-free ∙ hormone disruptor-free ∙ carcinogen-free — and simply worry-free. 

 

No Lingering Scent | Rustic Strength Detergents do not contain any Optical Brighteners or Chemical Binders. These are the elements that allow scent (and additional residues) to remain in your fabrics. We view this as an asset, however if you would like to enhance the scent, we recommend adding an essential oil to your Dryer Balls, or by utilizing a toxin-free Linen Spray.

Small Batch Fresh | Our Liquid Laundry Detergent is produced daily at our family-run factory in The Ozarks, USA — arriving to you made the same week.

Kindly Note | Custom scents are your own creation. We do not accept returns if you are not satisfied with the scent you have made. If you are unsure about your potential scent combination, we recommend you trial our 4 Ounce Sample before committing to larger. 

How Do I Custom Build My Scent?

It's pretty simple! 

In the drop down menus you'll be able to select two of our 50+ available scents

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! So let your imagination run wild.

Washing Directions

1/2 oz light soiled / small load
1 oz activewear / medium load
2 oz heavy soiled / large load

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.  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 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.  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.

Laundry Tips

Stain removal. 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.

Glass laundry detox set

Loving the rustic strength laundry detox set, I have done a few loads now and my sheets, towels and clothes feel softer and clean! The glass bottles are wonderful and very aesthetically pleasing on the laundry shelf. My mind feels much more at ease going non toxic with all household products during my trying to conceive journey, and rustic strength has helped so much with making my home a much safer environment!

Incredible

I’ve been looking for a clean and effective laundry detergent for a long time with all the eczema, allergy and skin issues I have and this is the best I’ve found so far. The cleanest our laundry has ever been and my skin is happy!

Can’t wait to try the mama and baby safe detergent we got for our new arrival due in a few months
