Tierra Verde Laundry Rinse with Lavender (1 l) - A Gentler Alternative to Fabric Softener

Product description Tierra Verde Laundry Rinse with Lavender (1 l) - A Gentler Alternative to Fabric Softener

Rinse Aid Perfectly Replaces Fabric Softener by dissolving soap residues from clothes, making them easier to rinse out. Your laundry will be softer and smoother, with brighter colors. Additionally, it adds a pleasant lavender scent thanks to essential oil. It is vegan friendly, not tested on animals, proudly boasts the EcoGarantie certificate, and is suitable for allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin. It is also suitable for use in tumble dryers and is especially effective in areas with hard water (which can be identified using test strips).

Usage:

Do you use fabric softener? Are you aware that its main purpose is to coat and smooth textile fibers, typically achieved with chemicals supplemented by artificial dyes and perfumes?

Rinse Aid neutralizes the alkaline washing solution with its acidic reaction, which is crucial for people with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies, and small children, whose skin is much more permeable to chemicals than adult skin. The natural pH of the human skin surface is acidic (pH 4-6), protecting itself from the proliferation of microorganisms. In contrast, soap, washing soda, and other laundry agents are alkaline. Unrinsed residues of laundry agents in clothes can irritate the skin, so it's beneficial to neutralize them during rinsing with a rinse aid.

Rinse Aid also prevents the deposition of laundry detergent residues in textile fibers, thus preventing graying of clothes. It restores the natural properties (towels absorb again) and appearance (brighter colors) of fibers. We recommend using rinse aid when washing in hard water, which causes the precipitation of active substances in laundry detergents with minerals present in the water.

Rinse Aid is only scented with natural lavender essential oil.

Purpose:

• For all machine and hand washing
• For all types of laundry

Hand Washing: After washing with detergent in hand washing, add the rinse aid to clean water, let it act for at least 10 minutes, and then rinse the laundry.

Machine Washing: Add the rinse aid to the fabric softener compartment for the final part of the wash.

Why replace fabric softener with rinse aid?

Most of us associate fabric softener with fragrant and soft laundry. However, few realize that it was originally developed to remove static electricity from synthetic textiles and that using it on cotton or functional clothing is unnecessary, risks skin irritation, and strips natural materials of their absorbency. Fabric softener works like hair conditioner: it smooths the fiber by coating it, reducing the absorbency and breathability of textiles. Therefore, fabric softener should not be used on underwear, towels, dishcloths, bed linen, baby diapers, infant textiles, or functional sportswear – basically, anywhere you expect the laundry to wick away sweat or absorb liquids. Moreover, conventional fabric softeners contain synthetic fragrances. These chemical scents bind to the fabric and can cause skin irritation or allergies.

Ingredients:

< 5% non-ionic surfactants, citric acid, natural lavender essential oil BIO (Lavandula Hybrida Grosso), linalool.

Note:

We have improved the rinse aid with a touch of sugar surfactant, replacing the original denatured alcohol and ensuring perfect mixing of the used ingredients. We choose ingredients for our detergents to represent the least burden on human health and the planet. This product does not contain synthetic perfumes or dyes and aligns with a non-toxic lifestyle.

Advice:

Your laundry's perfection lies in... RINSE AID

Fragrant and soft to the touch, that's how laundry feels after washing with conventional products. However, it may also contain residues of chemicals from laundry agents that irritate the skin. Rinse aid ensures that textiles are cleaner and suitable for sensitive skin of eczema sufferers, allergy sufferers, and small children.

If you occasionally hand wash, you know that thoroughly rinsing laundry is quite a task and that often one rinse bath is not enough. In the washing machine drum, there is significantly more laundry, but due to pressure to save water and electricity, rinsing may only last a few minutes, and the machine must manage with a limited amount of water.

Conventional laundry agents contain a cocktail of chemicals ensuring their high efficiency. Additionally, they contain artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances. Some of these chemicals remain in the laundry and can cause various health issues. It helps to add an extra rinse, choose washing programs that allocate more water to the machine, and use gentle laundry agents. Rinse aid, however, can do even more.

According to the skin's pH

Rinse aid with lavender extract YELLOW & BLUE works on a simple principle. Laundry agents are usually alkaline, but the natural pH of our skin is acidic (pH 4-6). Thus, the skin naturally protects itself from the proliferation of undesirable microorganisms. Contact with residues of alkaline laundry products, which cling to laundry and are activated by body heat, does not suit it. Rinse aid based on citric acid neutralizes the rinse bath and helps flush out problematic substances from textiles.

Using rinse aid is also beneficial for the laundry itself. It prevents graying, soiling, and "hardening" of textiles, and restores the absorbency of textile fibers. It is very suitable for washing in hard water, where the active substances of laundry agents precipitate with dissolved minerals (especially calcium and magnesium) and settle in textiles and the washing machine.

Simply pour the rinse aid into the fabric softener compartment. Because it is based on citric acid, there is no risk, as with vinegar, of damaging the plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine. Rinse aid replaces fabric softener and, unlike it, is also suitable for cotton and functional clothing.

Fabric softener only for synthetics

The original purpose of fabric softener is to remove static electricity from synthetic textiles. It works like a conditioner – smoothing textile fibers by coating them. However, this reduces their absorbency and breathability, traps residues of laundry agents, and also contains synthetic dyes and fragrances, which can cause skin irritation and allergies.

Rinse aid does not contain any dyes or petroleum derivatives, and its gentle scent is provided by bio essential oil from lavender, known as Lavandin. Therefore, it is suitable for allergy sufferers, eczema sufferers, small children, and people with sensitive skin.

Our Tip:

The quality of rinsing is also influenced by the cleanliness of the washing machine itself. For its regular maintenance, we recommend WATER SCALE REMOVER. To return the original color to grayed white and light laundry, use PUER BLEACHING POWDER.
