Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate, NAHCO3) is one of the key ingredients of our Laundry Powder. The most common source of the baking soda in the US is the Green River Basin in Wyoming, where trona ore is mined and refined into baking soda (aluminum-free, as it's always been). Since we started nearly 5 years ago, this is where our baking soda came from. We have started a shift to a different, still US-based, source. In Colorado, baking soda comes from nahcolite, NaHCO3, which is extracted from the ground via mining or water extraction. Nothing about our baking soda's chemical make-up, or its performance...

May 17, 2018 UPDATE: We are excited to announce that we found the root cause of the breaking sealing stickers on our Fulfilled by Amazon products.

Send us a note and schedule a tour today! Sales...

  Performance fabrics do a great job of keeping us cool while working out or doing yard work, but sometimes they result in your home smelling like a locker-room. While some people might like that smell, here’s a few ways to prevent it for those with a nose for a cleaner smelling home. Air it Out! Leaving a pile of sweaty clothes balled up after a workout is easy.  However, it’s also a breeding ground for bacteria, which is what causes that “locker-room” smell (especially those synthetic fabrics!). Even if you’re not going to wash them right away, hang your...

We did well in 2016, but as our name says, we can always get better. Here are our goals for 2017. As always, we look at our goals like we do everything else, from our triple-bottom-line approach of People, Planet, and Profit. We've already started tracking these goals for 2017, and plan to give an update on this blog post a time or two during the rest of 2017. ~Mike
