Finding the best cold water laundry detergent
About 75-90% of the energy your washing machine uses goes towards warming up the water. The best laundry detergents will clean efficiently at colder temperatures.
This feature helps households save on energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint, aligning with sustainable living goals.
Looking for the best detergent to use for a cold water wash? Look for specialised surfactants and enzymes that are active at lower temperatures. These will be most efficient on a cold water wash.
These detergents will also have a high concentration of active cleaning agents, ensuring powerful cleaning action.
Laundry sheets are a great option. They are quick-dissolving to ensure immediate action of the cleaning agents in cold water. Additionally, eco-friendly enzymes in sheets will target and break down organic stains effectively in cold water.
Sensitive Skin Considerations
For those with sensitive skin, the choice of detergent is crucial. The best detergent for sensitive skin should have specific qualities to ensure it's both gentle and effective:
- Fragrance-Free: Avoids the use of artificial fragrances which are common irritants.
- No Harsh Chemicals: Free from harsh chemicals like bleach, dyes, and certain sulphates that can cause skin reactions.
- Hypoallergenic: Formulated to minimise the risk of skin allergies.
- Mild Ingredients: Contains mild cleaning agents that are effective yet gentle on the skin.
- pH-Balanced: A balanced pH level to maintain skin’s natural balance.
- Natural or Plant-Based Ingredients: Preference for natural or plant-based ingredients that are typically gentler than synthetic chemicals.
Conversely, it should not have:
- Dyes and Colorants: Can cause skin irritation and allergies.
- Strong Fragrances: Often lead to skin reactions in sensitive individuals.
- Harsh Chemicals: Like chlorine, ammonia, or strong solvents that can be irritating to the skin.
- Optical Brighteners: Can leave residues on clothes that may irritate sensitive skin.
We offer fragrance-free options, eliminating common irritants found in conventional detergents. This makes them an excellent choice for people prone to skin allergies or irritations, ensuring a gentle yet effective cleaning solution.

Maintaining White Fabrics
Keeping white fabrics bright and fresh is a common laundry challenge. Green Sheets effectively tackle this task, ensuring whites stay bright over time.
The best laundry detergent for white fabrics should contain bleach or enzymes to remove stains, maintain a slightly alkaline pH, and be free of excessive additives.
Compatibility with your washing machine is important, and following care labels and instructions is essential for effective cleaning.
While focusing on cleaning efficacy, these sheets also maintain an eco-friendly profile, providing an environmentally conscious solution for washing whites.
