Our zero-waste laundry detergent bucket is an eco-friendly option for heavy launderers. We send you a full 5-gallon bucket of our concentrated laundry powder, enough for an incredible 2,320 HE loads of laundry—the equivalent of 18 Laundry Powder Refill bags!
The price of each bucket includes shipping to your home and return shipping to our factory. Keep the box it comes in and send the empty bucket back with the included pre-paid shipping label.
We use only what you need to clean your clothes: a simple formula of baking soda, washing soda, and vegetable soap made with organic coconut oil. Our scented varieties are made with organic essential oils—no mysterious “fragrance” blends that contain undisclosed ingredients.
All of our ingredients are MADE SAFE® Certified, Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, and vegan. We list every ingredient, including scents, on the front label so you can see what’s in your detergent.
Due to the size and weight of these buckets, there are no refunds or returns on these buckets. We strongly advise trying our Laundry Starter Bundle or standard Laundry Powder canisters before upgrading to a 5-gallon bucket.
Available in unscented, lavender, lemon, lemon-lavender clove, and peppermint.

Safer Ingredients, Listed on the Label
Our laundry detergent is MADE SAFE® Certified, meaning it meets the strictest ingredient screening requirement in the industry. MADE SAFE® certification means that a product has been Made With Safe Ingredients™ that are not known or suspected to harm human health, animals, aquatic life, or ecosystems.
This powder detergent is made from baking soda, washing soda, and vegetable soap. Scented varieties are made with organic essential oils, not synthetic fragrances.
Concentrated, Eco-Friendly Powder
Our eco-friendly laundry detergent is concentrated to minimize waste and environmental impact. By making a concentrated dry powder, we eliminate the need for added preservatives or unnecessary plastic, like hidden liners or PVA pods and sheets.
Powdered detergent is lighter and more concentrated than liquid detergent, making it more energy- and cost-effective to ship to you.
With our zero-waste bucket program, we remove the packaging altogether and reuse buckets and the boxes they come in to send bulk laundry powder to happy homes.
