Wash & Iron
Sustainable washing and ironing means using eco laundry detergents that clean reliably and are biodegradable, combined with accessories built to last. In this collection, you’ll find eco laundry detergents in several variants, as well as durable ironing tables and ironing boards. Gentle on your clothes and kinder to waterways and the environment.
How to recognise a good eco laundry detergent
- Biodegradable surfactants: They break down quickly in nature without harmful residues, putting less strain on waterways and ecosystems.
- Free from problematic chemicals: Eco laundry detergents avoid phosphates, optical brighteners and harsh preservatives.
- Effective at low temperatures: Good eco laundry detergents clean reliably even at low wash temperatures, saving energy with every cycle.
- The right variant: Here you’ll find laundry detergent in Lavender, Colour and Sensitive variants, as well as concentrated powder, including washing powder for catering and commercial use.
- Labels to guide your choice: Certifications such as the EU Ecolabel confirm environmental and health standards, while the Taiga Eco Rating provides additional guidance when choosing.
Our brands: why we chose them
Sonett is our first choice for eco-friendly laundry: the Lavender, Colour and Sensitive laundry detergents, along with the concentrated powder, are among the best-selling products in this collection.
Brabantia stands for durable laundry accessories: expanded-metal ironing tables, including a Fairtrade edition, and ironing boards with a laundry rack, made for years of use rather than quick replacement.
Practical advice: wash cooler and dose correctly
The biggest difference you can make when washing is the temperature: because eco laundry detergents clean effectively even at low temperatures, you can significantly reduce energy consumption per cycle. Dose according to how dirty the laundry is rather than guesswork, and choose the variant to suit your laundry: Colour for coloured garments, Sensitive for sensitive skin.

What makes a laundry detergent sustainable?
Biodegradable ingredients, no phosphates or optical brighteners, effective cleaning at low temperatures and environmentally friendly packaging, often confirmed by labels such as the EU Ecolabel.
Which laundry detergent is suitable for sensitive skin?
The Sensitive variant is designed for sensitive skin. Natural laundry detergents are generally often milder because they avoid harsh ingredients, reducing the risk of skin irritation and allergies.
Why is a durable ironing board worth it?
Because constantly buying replacements is the most expensive and resource-intensive solution: a sturdy ironing table such as Brabantia’s expanded-metal models will serve you for many years, with practical details including a laundry rack.
