Our plastic-free laundry detergent refills are packaged in paperboard boxes containing kraft paper bags. They are a low-waste way to refill your reusable paper and steel Laundry Powder canisters or any container you have at home.

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.

Available in unscented, lavender, lemonlemon-lavender clove, and peppermint.

    Wash as normal

    Once dissolved, our Laundry Powder works just like liquid detergent. It’s safe for all fabrics and water temperatures.

Our Ingredients — Meliora Cleaning Products

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.

Our Packaging — Meliora Cleaning Products

Plastic-Free, Eco-Friendly Packaging

Our eco-friendly laundry detergent is concentrated and packaged 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.

Our paper box refills are designed to help you reuse our paper-and-steel Laundry Powder canisters. That means you only need to buy the canister once, reducing the amount of packaging produced.

Powdered detergent is lighter and more concentrated than liquid detergent, making it more energy- and cost-effective to ship to you. It also takes up less space in your home—our refill box is only 5 inches long, 3.4 inches wide, and 3.7 inches tall.

I liked this detergent! Cleaned my clothes well, beautiful, light, scent.
My only complaint is trying to pry open the container. But worth it to keep the big plastic bottles out of my home and our landfills.

The BEST!

We have been using Meliora products for years now and just LOVE them! I know I am taking care of myself with my sensitive skin and chemical sensitivities, AND I am taking care of our environment and our water supply by using these products. I love that real people are making each product with thought about packaging and ingredients. THANK YOU sweet Meliora people!

Not the biggest fan at first, but...

I live in a city with some of the hardest water in the US. I didn't initially love the detergent because it didn't completely dissolve in our outside washing machine which is attached to only cold water. I now boil about a pint of water, put the detergent in the hot water, and put that in the wash. The detergent cleans amazingly well and I can use it, even though I am allergic to absolutely everything. I couldn't recommend this product enough.

Ok So Far, but…

I got the peppermint scented powder and my laundry doesn’t smell like peppermint at all. There is no scent So I’m disappointed about that. Why offer scented powders at all?

Hi Janet, thank you for your feedback. We offer scented options for those who want scents to enhance the experience of using our products. Many people enjoy smelling the essential oils in our products as they're stored in the home or used for cleaning. For instance, you may notice our peppermint scent in your laundry room or while scooping powder for a load. However, our products are designed for effective cleaning, which means removing most oils—including fragrance oils—from your clothes. Most conventional laundry products are made with synthetic fragrances that do not meet our standards for people- and planet-friendly cleaning. Our scents don't stick to your clothes in the same way because they're made from organic essential oils, not synthetic fragrances.

To add some scent back into your laundry routine, we have two recommendations for you.
1. Mix a few drops of essential oils with 1/4 to 1/2 cup vinegar. Pour this into your washing machine during the rinse cycle.
2. Add just a few drops of essential oils to a wool dryer ball or a damp wash cloth. Then, toss it in with your clothes in the dryer.
