* Detergents. Components such as colorants really aren’t
necessary - they are often just there to make them pleasing
to the eye as you pour them out. Fragrances are of particular
concern as companies often aren’t required to detail what
these are comprised of. Just about every supermarket these
days offers “earth friendly” detergents and usually you’ll
find they are quite a bit cheaper too due to the no-frills,
low active chemical approach - yet they can be just as
effective.

* If you need a bit of extra punch to your wash in terms of
bleaching, consider adding a 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the
rinse cycle. By the way, a teaspoon of lemon juice thrown
into your wash can also help your clothes to smell fresher.

* Other more environmentally friendly alternatives to
brightening are a half cup of baking soda thrown into the
wash, or half a cup of borax.
