Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent is septic safe and sewer safe.

Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent is also safe for grey water and can be used to water plants with the water from washing clothes in the Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent.

Sometimes, additives in washing powder don't break down properly and, over time, they can clog your system.

The safest liquid laundry detergents to choose are eco-friendly brands like Ecover, Bio D, Ecozone, and those marked as septic-safe.

Detergents that contain enzymes are biological detergents such as Tide, Prestol, Arm and Hammer, Rockin Green Platinum, Persio and Bioclean.

Many other detergents that are biological detergents contain enzymes which help to break down grime and dirt and stains to get clothes clean and keep them clean.

The detergents that have the most enzymes are bio detergents.

Prestol, Arm and Hammer Detergent, and Rockin Green Platinum detergent has the most enzymes.

Some companies like Persil, Presto, and Biokleen specifically market their products as enzyme-based and all natural, but even nationally recognized brands like Arm & Hammer and All now have enzyme formulas available.

You can pick up detergents with enzymes online or in-store at most major retailers.

The best kind of laundry detergent for sensitive skin is non bio laundry detergent.

Since babies have sensitive skin it's recommended to use non bio laundry detergent so if an adult has sensitive skin they should also use non bio laundry detergent.

Babies use non bio detergent as the non bio detergent is easier on the babies skin.

Parents should really wash the babies clothes in non bio detergent as they contain less chemicals which won't be as irritating to a babies sensitive skin.

Babies skin is more sensitive than adults skin is so it's best to use a laundry detergent that is formulated for babies clothes so that they don't get the irritation.

Although not necessary and required it's always recommended to use a non-biological detergent when washing newborn's clothes, this is down to baby's having very delicate skin.

Biological detergents contain strong stain-busting enzymes that could irritate baby's skin, whereas non-biological detergents are still highly effective but are gentler on skin.

The difference between bio detergent and non bio detergent is that the biological detergents contain enzymes which make it easier to break down the dirt that builds up in your clothes.

Non-bio detergents don't contain these enzymes, making them generally kinder to sensitive skin.

The enzymes in biological washing detergent work by breaking down proteins.

Bio laundry detergent contains enzymes that help to break down common stains, such as food stains, sweat stains, grass stains and grease.

Although non biological detergents do not contain stain removing enzymes, they can still be great at removing stains and keeping your clothes clean and smelling fresh.
