ECO Laundry: wool & delicate laundry with lavender - GreeNatural

Le microplastiche che quotidianamente disperdiamo nel nostro pianeta sono una piaga invisibile, ma reale: si stima che in un anno ingeriamo l'equivalente di una carta di credito in microplastiche attraverso cibo, aria e acqua. Ognuno di noi può, cambiando leggermente le proprie abitudini, dare un contributo per arginare questo problema e pesare meno sul nostro ecosistema. E' per questo motivo che Cuore Lavabile, sentendosi ancora più responsabile dopo la creazione dei CuorPad, vuole proporvi la rete per il bucato Guppyfriend: è un'azienda tedesca che utilizza un particolare filato di poliestere prodotto in Italia che serve da rete per intrappolare le microplastiche durante il lavaggio in lavatrice. La misura di questa rete è di 50x74cm e vanno inseriti quegli indumenti (anche pannolini e assorbenti) che hanno parti in poliestere. Infatti i filati dei vestiti sono generalmente composti da diversi fili attorcigliati e che sfregano tra loro durante il lavaggio e perdono frammenti (le microplastiche). Il poliestere che compone la rete per lavaggio, invece, è un monofilamento con particolari caratteristiche che non ne fanno staccare frammenti. Gli studi che ha condotto l'azienda attraverso il Centro di ricerca tessile tedesco DTNW, l'Istituto Fraunhofer UMSICHT e l'Università della California a Santa Barbara, ci dicono un sacco di cose interessanti su come lavare al meglio. Innanzitutto un tessuto sintetico che viene lasciato libero in lavatrice perde una percentuale di microplastiche nettamente superiore (+86%) rispetto a quelli inseriti nella rete. Questo perché più le fibre sfregano e più i frammenti di plastica si staccano dai tessuti. Quindi un tessuto inserito nella rete durerà anche più a lungo rispetto al trattamento in lavatrice libera, ma è anche stato dimostrato che lo stesso accade ai tessuti naturali, quindi anche inserendoli nella rete per il lavaggio perderanno molte meno fibre andando a deteriorarsi meno e durare di più. Siccome il sacchetto potrebbe sbilanciare la rotazione della centrifuga viene consigliato o di averne due che girando mantengono l'equilibrio evitando lo stop della centrifuga oppure di inserire riempimento in fibre naturali come vestiti, asciugamani o lenzuola fuori dalla rete. Purtroppo i sistemi di filtraggio non sono in grado di bloccare le microplastiche perché solo molto piccole: in media tra i 50 µm a 15 mm, di solito non più spesse di 10 µm. Proprio per questo, dopo le fasi di depurazione nei normali impianti si ha come prodotto un "fango di depurazione" pieno di questi frammenti che viene utilizzato come fertilizzante naturale: così, attraverso la terra e le falde acquifere, le microplastiche arrivano fino alla nostra tavola. Non solo, le microplastiche arrivano anche ai corsi d'acqua a causa degli straripamenti delle fognature dove sono raccolte tutte le acque reflue non filtrate e non trattate che vengono dalle nostre case, tra cui anche gli scarichi della lavatrice. Il problema è serio, stiamo avvelenando la nostra terra e chi ne pagherà le spese saranno soprattutto le generazioni future: i nostri bambini.

This softener with a delicate lavender fragrance, thanks to its ecological formula with surfactants derived from vegetable raw materials and renewable sources, leaves garments soft and naturally perfumed, respecting the fibres, fabrics, the skin and the environment. It complies with the EcoDetergence standard of the Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA). Tested for nickel, chromium and cobalt. No GMOs. Without dyes, added perfumes, EDTA, optical brighteners, phosphorus, enzymes and substances of animal origin. Use (lasts up to 22 washes for a 4.5 kg laundry; use the 60 ml measuring cap): By hand for 10 litres: 45ml Machine wash: 45ml

Suitable for whitening and sanitizing laundry, crockery and commonly used accessories Officina naturae Whitening Percarbonate , thanks to its exclusive formula enriched with Silicates and Phosphonates, softens the water, thus improving washing efficiency and allowing you to reduce the dose of detergent. This formulation limits one of the problems deriving from the use of only pure Sodium Percarbonate: during its action, pure Sodium Percarbonate creates salts of Sodium Carbonate, which, depositing themselves on the textures of the garments, tend to harden them and make them pleasant to the skin. The inclusion of sequestrants (anti-limestone) in the formula leaves the garments softer and more pleasant, therefore particularly suitable for washing cloth diapers or children's garments. Our Solara Whitening Percarbonate, thanks to its formula, also has high stability over time. Pure Sodium Percarbonate alone tends to lose effectiveness over time, due to the continuous release of oxygen. In the washing machine as a prewash: pour 2 measuring cups into the prewash compartment and dose the detergent normally into the main wash compartment. In the washing machine as washing: measure out the detergent normally in the main compartment and add 1 or 2 measures of product. Soaking: dissolve two measuring spoons in 5 liters of hot water (at least 40 degrees), soak colored garments for at least 30-60 minutes (max 2 hours) or white garments for at least 1-2 hours (max 4-5 hours). Then wash normally by hand or in the washing machine with the usual detergent. In the dishwasher: to sanitize dishes and kitchen items and eliminate bad smells, pour a measuring cup of product, together with the detergent, into the main wash compartment. Does not contain: enzymes, surfactants or optical brighteners. Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Do not use on delicate items (wool, silk, leather). Contrary to popular belief, a high concentration of sodium percarbonate is not recommended for washing fabrics. Since it is a highly corrosive molecule, it tends over time to weaken the textures of the fabrics and to deposit sodium carbonate salts on the fabrics themselves, which harden the fibers, making them unpleasant on the skin and making them fragile. Solara Sodium Percarbonate, thanks to its balanced formula, avoids these problems, guaranteeing efficacy and respect for the skin and tissues.

This softener from the Ekos line, specialized in natural eco-cleansing, is suitable for both hand and washing machine washing.

Disana lanolin is a specific maintenance treatment for delicate garments. Organic wool is naturally impregnated with lanolin, a substance with antibacterial and waterproofing power. The lanolin decreases with the use of the garment, the washings and the drying; it is therefore necessary to restore it from time to time. The presence of lanolin, for example, is the reason why Disana wool nappy covers are waterproof, or why wool and wool/silk garments are so soft to the touch and thermoregulatory. The Disana lanolin treatment is natural and not tested on animals, respects the most delicate skins and does not contain perfumes. Use: dissolve 2 tablespoons of lanolin in 1 liter of warm water (max 25°C). In the case of wool diaper covers, leave to soak overnight; for the other garments a couple of hours are sufficient. Remove excess water by wrapping the garment in a towel and patting dry. Spread lying down, away from heat sources or direct sunlight.

All Ulrich cleaning products are highly concentrated, economical and particularly effective.

Eco Detergence certified product ICEA n. 003 EC 008 With innovative vegetable ingredients and at km 0 Highly concentrated ecological degreaser, with surfactants of Italian vegetable origin and with performance comparable to the most famous conventional degreasers. Effectively degreases crockery, kitchens, ovens, hoods, worktops. Thoroughly cleans window frames, shutters and mechanical components of bicycles and cars. Excellent pre-treatment for greasy stains on collars and cuffs on white or resistant colored fabrics. Also available in refill format without sprayer. We recommend purchasing the refill format later to reduce plastic consumption. Nickel tested VEGAN Does not contain preservatives Kitchen countertops and dishes: spray on the surfaces to be cleaned, leave to act for a few seconds then remove with a cloth or sponge. Possibly rinse. Stain pre-treatment on fabrics, shirt collars and cuffs: in case of greasy stains, spray directly on the stain, leave to act for a few seconds, rub and proceed with normal washing. Oven cleaning: leave to act on the hot walls (50°C-60°C) for 15 minutes. Rinse. Mechanical parts (bicycles, cars, etc.): spray on the surfaces to be cleaned, leave to act for a few seconds, rub with a sponge or brush if necessary, then rinse. Do not use on clear plastics or wood. On aluminum and painted parts try in a hidden corner. Do not leave it on for too long and do not let the product dry on the surface. Often the most resistant stains are due to the "glue effect" given by the combination of dirt with limescale. In the Universal Degreaser we use an innovative ingredient of vegetable origin, which "breaks" dirt stains without having to use aggressive ingredients of petrochemical origin. The pH of Solara Universal Degreaser is alkaline, for this reason its use on aluminum is not recommended. This metal would react immediately, oxidizing and taking on a dark gray colour.
