Whuuuuh? Laundry fun? Um YEAH. For real. So, it’s time once again for our Monthly Method<\/a> and this one has been a total life changer. And it’s all because of this little guy:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cute huh! But before we get into it, a little lesson in Laundry 101. We’ve all schlepped those big ol’ heavy jugs of detergent. We’ve used ’em. We’ve loved ’em! But here’s something we didn’t know. Have you ever filled the cap up….allllll the way up? And then even added just a weeeee bit extra because, well, mo’ detergent means mo’ clean, right? WRONG!<\/p>\n

For starters, overdosing on detergent can leave residue on your clothing and in your machine. It can actually\u00c2\u00a0trap soil in\u00c2\u00a0in your machine too, and with today’s low-water using, suds-sensitive washers (aka those pretty front loaders), this means the perfect breeding for bacteria and stale odors. Yeech.\u00c2\u00a0(Read more here!\u00c2\u00a0Laundry Detergent: How Much Is Too Much?<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The other problem? You use up your detergent much more quickly. Now see, the other guys don’t really want to let you in on this little secret\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat less is more. I mean, can YOU see the little line inside the cap? The “fill to here” mark? Um, not really. That’s because they WANT you to blow through that jug. So you’ll buy more. And that just doesn’t make sense, ya know? We are all for working smarter, not harder. And if we can save money in the process? Well YAHOOO!<\/p>\n

SMARTER.<\/strong> Method Laundry<\/a> is ultra-concentrated laundry detergent that delivers big cleaning power with just 1\/4th the dose of the leading brands. That’s 50 loads from one<\/em> little bottle. Not too shabby!<\/p>\n

GREENER<\/strong>. We care about the planet. We want to leave a safe and healthy place for our kiddos, so this is something that means a lot to us. Method Laundry is powered by plant-based technology (using 95% natural and renewable ingredients). In fact, Method Laundry\u00c2\u00a0reduces the average laundry detergent lifecycle carbon footprint by 35%. \u00c2\u00a0Even the bottle is made from recycled material.\u00c2\u00a0(No more big jugs cloggin’ up the landfill!)\u00c2\u00a0So it’s good for the earth and for your family. What’s not to love?? (read more about it all here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OH YEAH!<\/strong> We forgot the most important point. (Well, to Wolfie and the Peach anyway.) It’s WAY MORE FUN<\/strong>. You can hold that lightweight bottle in one hand and with just four little pumps, it cleans your whole load. Seriously. It’s SO fun to squirt this little guy, you won’t have AAAANY problem getting the kiddos to help on laundry day! And one standard bottle? Good for 50 loads. Small but mighty, friends.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course it comes in all kinds of yummy scents too. Like Fresh Air. Lavender Cedar. Sweet Pea. And Spring Daisy. (Which is what I currently use! It smells great…not too perfumey. Just fresh and pretty.)<\/p>\n

OK. So how would you like to give this awesome stuff a try for yourself? We’ve got THREE easy ways!<\/p>\n
