Families across America buy 6 Billion USD of laundry detergent every year. Concervatively, that is enough to fill 126,000 semi trucks parked bumber to bumber from Vancouver to Los Angeles fully loaded with 20 tons of detergent each. This is what gets added to the water in washing machines which on average dumps about 25-30 gallons of chemically loaded, polluted water into our environmrnt per load. That amounts to approximately 330 Billion gallons of polluted water every year.

But now there are ways to do your laundry without dumping any polluted water into the water ways! I could tell you how to say good-bye to the continual expenses of buying laundry detergent, fabric softner, bleach and paying for extra heating bills from Hot Water and still get your clothes just as clean. For every 100 families that choose the new method that means that 1.152 million gallons of detergent-water slurry WILL NOT ENTER our waterways. 2,400 empty boxes or containers will not have been stuffed into landfills and tons of products will not have been shipped (consuming fuel) from their manufacturer to your store! And no hot water will have been heated! You could water your grass from the water flushed from your washer!
