Laundry & Fabric Care Guide

A practical guide to choosing a simpler laundry and home care routine.

Simple Living Eco makes concentrated laundry and cleaning products in compact formats. Use this guide to understand the difference between laundry detergent sheets, non-bio options, scent boosters, fabric care products and refill cleaning strips, then follow the links to the product or guide that fits what you need.

Where to start

Laundry detergent sheets

Laundry detergent sheets are pre-measured detergent in a compact sheet format. They go into the washing machine with your clothes and dissolve during the wash. Explore our laundry sheets collection, read how laundry detergent sheets work, or use our Laundry Sheets UK: Comparison & Buying Guide if you are comparing brands before you buy.

Non-bio and unscented laundry

If you prefer non-bio detergent or want to avoid added fragrance, start with our Non-Bio & Unscented Laundry collection. The product page lets you choose the fragrance option that suits your routine, including Unscented where available.

Scent boosters

Scent boosters are used alongside detergent when you want an additional layer of fragrance. They do not replace detergent. Read our laundry scent boosters guide or explore Laundry Scent Booster Beads.

Fabric care

Cleaning and fabric care are not the same job. A fabric care routine focuses on how clothes feel, wear and are looked after between washes. Read our fabric care guide or explore the Wardrobe Care Discovery Set.

Multi-surface cleaning

For everyday home cleaning, our refill system uses compact cleaning strips dissolved into water in a reusable bottle. Read the multi-surface cleaning strips guide or explore the Multi-Surface Cleaning Starter Kit.

How to choose laundry products

Start with the job you need the product to do. Detergent cleans. Scent boosters add fragrance. Fabric care products support the feel and condition of fabrics. Booster products can provide additional cleaning support. Using clear product roles makes it easier to build a routine without buying products that duplicate one another.
