If your washing machine smells musty, leaves clothes feeling not-so-fresh, or just seems to be underperforming—your detergent might be to blame. Specifically? Liquid laundry detergents.
The Dirty Truth About Liquid Detergent
Most conventional liquid laundry detergents are packed with synthetic fillers, heavy surfactants, and artificial fragrances. These ingredients don’t always fully rinse away—especially in cold water—leading to:
-
Sticky residue buildup inside your washer drum
-
Mildew and mold growth in hidden spots like the door seal
-
A film of gunky detergent scum inside detergent dispensers
-
Unpleasant, lingering washing machine odours
Over time, this sticky buildup can trap dirt, bacteria, and grime. Not only is that gross—it’s also why your “clean” clothes may not smell clean at all.
Enter Laundry Boost: A Natural Way to Clean Your Washing Machine
We created Natura Soy Laundry Boost as a plant-based, multi-tasking powder that not only enhances your laundry routine—it also deep cleans your machine at the same time.
Crafted with a powerhouse blend of mineral-based deodorizers and pure essential oils, our Laundry Boost is designed to deep clean your machine and freshen every load—without the synthetic fillers found in most detergents. It’s gentle, effective, and works wonders at breaking down grime and deodorizing your washer—naturally.
How to Clean Your Washing Machine with Natura Soy Laundry Boost
✅ Step 1: Clean the Exterior + Dispensers
Wipe down the outside of your washer with a damp cloth. Remove the detergent drawer and soak it in warm, soapy water to get rid of hidden buildup.
✅ Step 2: Add Laundry Boost
Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of Laundry Boost directly into the drum.
✅ Step 3: Run a Hot Cycle
Run a full wash cycle on the hottest setting with an empty drum (no clothes). This will allow Laundry Boost to dissolve buildup, eliminate odours, and refresh your machine from the inside out.
✅ Step 4: Wipe the Door Seal
If you have a front loader, pull back the rubber gasket and use a cloth to wipe away any remaining grime. That’s where mold loves to hide.
✅ Step 5: Leave the Door Open
Once the cycle is complete, leave the washer door ajar to fully dry out the inside—this prevents moisture buildup and keeps your machine fresh longer.
Quick Tip: Perfect for those in-between deep cleans! Whether it’s a muddy soccer uniform, a pet mess on your washable rug, or a mystery smell you’d rather not investigate—Laundry Boost helps flush out the aftermath from your machine. Yep, we’ve been there too.
How Often Should You Clean Your Washing Machine?
-
Light laundry use (1–2 loads/week): Clean every 3 months
-
Average use (3–5 loads/week): Clean every 2 months
-
Heavy use (6+ loads/week): Clean once a month
💡 Tip: You can also toss in a scoop of Laundry Boost with your towels or bedding once a week for a “mini clean” that keeps things in check between full cycles.
