The Laundry Tarts Review + Giveaway

I’ve talked about my battles with the L word before. Laundry is not something that I look forward to, but I know it must be done, and done well. That goes for Micah’s diapers, as well. Those of you who cloth diaper know how hard it can be to find the right detergent that you love and that works wonders on your diapers. Up until now, I was using your run-of-the-mill Free & Clear detergent. It gets the job done.

Then I discovered The Laundry Tarts. This stuff is so awesome! Not only does it really, REALLY clean your laundry and diapers, it comes in delicious scents like Birthday Cake. Cake! Who doesn’t love cake?! No one I know! The Laundry Tarts have created a 100% Canadian made line of vegan, dessert inspired laundry detergent that is eco-friendly and cloth diaper safe. 

How much better can it get? I’ll tell you. Their  detergent comes in oh-so-temping scents like Key Lime Pie, Cinnamon Buns, Mint Chocolate Chip, Canadian Maple, Strawberry Shortcake, Cookie Dough, Toasted Marshmallow, and Orange Dreamsicle, just to name a few. If you’re not jonesin’ for some sweets after reading that, then there’s something wrong!

Not only do their scents have the potential to send you into a dessert craving like no other (which is a-okay with me! YUM!), The Laundry Tarts detergent is totally green--right down to the compost friendly packaging! From The Laundry Tarts website: "Our products are hypoallergenic, 100% vegan and free of phosphates, EDTA, phthalates, parabens, SLS, SLES, nitrates, sulphites and chlorine! What do we use? All natural, safe old fashion ingredients to remove stains, keep whites bright and remove odour and bacteria without masking them with harmful chemical fragrances." Awesome!

I washed a load of regular laundry using my Birthday Cake scented detergent, and it did a fabulous job! My clothes were clean, fresh, and stain free! But what really sold me on The Laundry Tarts came next. I washed a load of dirty diapers and soaked them for an hour. Those puppies came out of the dryer, and I was in shock as to how SOFT they were! I pulled out one of Micah’s bumGenius shells, and instinctively rubbed it on my cheek! Kind of gross considering he poops in it, but it was just so darn soft! I couldn’t help it. I mean, his diapers have never been scratchy, but this was a whole new kind of clean. They didn’t stink like ammonia even after a wash cycle. When it comes to detergent, I think I’ve finally found “the one” for our diapers.

You can buy a 4 pound bag of The Laundry Tarts detergent for $19.95.
