Eco-Chic | The Laundress Cleans House

Neatnicks and clean freaks take note. The girls of The Laundress, who have kept your party clothes pretty and fresh for all these years, have launched a new collection of products for the rest of your house. The Home Cleaning Collection features 11 new items that are biodegradable and allergen free such as scented vinegar, surface cleaner, home spray and lint free clothes.

Two stand-out products for the home entertainer and chef include the Dish Detergent ($15), a two-in-one low sudsing, enzymatic solution that can be used for both hand dishwashing and the dishwasher, and the Kitchen Soap Bar ($8), an antibacterial, scented soap that eliminates food and cooking odors from hands.

We reached out to co-founder Lindsey Wieber Boyd about her thoughts on keeping it clean.

When it comes to spring cleaning, which room of the house do you tackle first?
The Bedroom, specifically the bed. I wash the pillows, steam and vacuum the mattress and clean the mattress cover.

Out of the entire product line, which one is your favorite?
My favorite product in the entire line is the Delicate Wash because I have always hand washed my delicates from bras to skirts and dresses. This product is close to my heart since it was one of the first products designed and developed (selfishly) to help my own laundering needs. Gwen and I have a story behind each product which are based on real life situations, from our friends, clients or ourselves, that needed a cleaning solution.
