Keeping Holidays Merry & Bright

Day 15: EcoSense MelaPower

Because clean should never mean chemicals and my family’s clothes can stink after workout.
MelaPower is a plant-based nontoxic laundry detergent that is tough on stains and odor. I shouldn’t have to choose between clean, fresh-smelling laundry and my family’s wellness. That’s why I choose MelaPower. MelaPower is formulated with safer ingredients that clean clothes effectively, but it doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg!
It makes it easy keeping up with the laundry this holiday season.

$19.49 to clean 96 loads in the 9X concentrated bottle.

Can you even believe it?

When your family sized load of laundry calls for less laundry detergent than your cookie recipe calls for vanilla…you know you’re going to be saving money. To be exact, this load takes two teaspoons of detergent per large load. My cookie recipe calls for two and one half teaspoons per batch.

It’s certainly a small amount of detergent, yet my clothes and linens always come out super clean.

Why should I pay for water-filled detergents when the machine adds water already? And, why should you?

Laundry factoid

Did you know that 90% of the energy used for a load of laundry comes from heating the water? Not washing the laundry—heating the water!
Luckily for me, my favorite non-toxic laundry detergent is designed to work in any water temperature, so ! can wash my things in cold tap water and save around $22 to $25 per month on my electric bill. Not to mention my non-toxic detergent is also a lot less expensive than Tide, and you only need a small amount per load.
Like I always say, some swaps just make life easier—better for your home, your wallet, and the planet!

Did you know toxins can be found in many brand name Fabric Softeners:?
It’s true. I was surprised when I found out that one potentially carcinogenic chemicals could be in my laundry.
Clothing and blankets that touch our skin and who doesn’t inhale that fresh clean fabric scent?
Her’s a list of chemicals that can be found in Snuggles brand fabric softener:

• Alpha-Terpineol – Linked to disorders of the brain and nervous system, loss of muscle control, depression, and headaches
• Benzyl acetate – Linked to cancer of the pancreas
• Benzyl alcohol – Linked to headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, depression, and disorders of the brain and nervous system.
• Chloroform- Listed on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list as a carcinogen and neurotoxin (toxic to the brain and nervous system)
•Ethanol –Listed on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list for its ability to cause brain and nervous system disorder
• Ethyl Acetate – Causes headaches and is on the EPA Hazardous Waste list
• Linalool – Causes loss of muscle coordination, nervous system and brain disorders, and depression
• Pentane – Causes headaches nausea, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and depression

I just want you to know Safer options are a switch away.

Relief for troubled skin

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This morning, I was watching the news and saw a commercial for Dupixent for eczema and sin rash. Most of the people in the commercial were kids, aged 12 or younger. I understand when your kids are suffering, you ache for them to feel better — often medication like Dupixent is prescribed.

For myself, I found an alternative doe my eczema with a few simple changes to products tI use everyday with no new hit to my budget.

These two products — Melapower Detergent and Renew Lotio — from the online Wellness shopping club where I shop monthly have made a difference for me and I no longer use Dupixent. My eczema has been alleviated with this laundry detergent and this skin lotion. Neither contains formaldehyde, parabens, chlorine bleach or other chemicals..I do think it’s important to get chemicals out of your home. What we breathe and what we apply to our skin is important. I’ve personally seen the difference.

A quick comparison

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Of laundry detergents.

First, let me mention the the only thing these two brands have in common is that they both wash the same number of loads.
96 loads — and that’s as far as it goes. The size difference is due to water. You’re paying for all the extra water in the package when you buy big name brands!

Not only that…

• The one on the left is powered with natural plant enzymes, is non-toxic and eco-friendly.

• The one on the right is filled with chemicals that can make you and your family sick.

• The one on the right costs 28 cents per load while the eco-friendly option is 19 cents per load! A difference of nine cents. Its may seem small potatoes, but just one load per week adds up. Besides, who really only does one load per week? My tiny package lasts me 11 months (I’m a one person plus chihuahua household) an average of two loads per week. An estimated savings of $187 on just detergent in 20 years. I think these products, detergent, fabric softener and brightener have helped my asthma over the years. With no formaldehyde or other harmful chemicals when compared to the brand-name laundry products I have been breathing easier for the past 20 years using Mela Power and companion products.

If you’ve thought about shopping for EcoSense solutions, but think that it somehow wouldn’t be worth it, or it would be too complicated, my advice is to just see for yourself!

I’m so confident… if you don’t love it, I’ll eat my socks!

Do You Shop Online?

I’m curious, do you enjoy shopping online? Do you shop once a month, once a week, or more often?

In my hectic life, I’m constantly online shopping to save time or picking up my online orders at the store.

But this Online shopping club is my favorite :
It only offers American-made products, and it is a company that provides transparency on where our money
goes and what it supports.

By purchasing these American_made products we successfully reduced the toxins that were unknowingly entering our home
through cleaning supplies and personal care products, thereby safeguarding our babies and pets.

Plus, I started saving money on my purchases. Why? Because I’m are buying quality products that actually work, so I don’t need
to use as much as I did with other products!

My time in a supermarket has been drastically reduced and I rarely go to drug store. I get all of my daily consumables at this amazing shopping club—Including high quality beef.
It’s been twenty years, you know it has to be good if I’ve been a loyal customer that long!

My laundry smells amazing

and it’s toxin free!

Listen, I love you enough to say it BOLDLY & LOUDLY. This is the better way to shop.

No junk ingredients. No fillers and highly concentrated so tiny petite packaging that doesn’t leak all over your laundry room.

It’s also the only stuff I will use on my families skin! Smells heavenly and is EXCELLENT on hard stains!

I feel like every dollar counts any time of the year!

Tide — .42 cents a load.

Dreft — .41 cents a load.

Melapower — .20 cents a load.

Works better too.

When a little means a lot

When it comes to cleaning your laundry, a little does a lot with MelaPower 9x!

In fact, MelaPower is so powerful that all it takes is one pump (10 mL or 2 tiny teaspoons) to clean an entire load! And while you may be tempted to add more, don’t. Using too much detergent can stain your clothes or leave them looking dingy and less vibrant. It can also lead to buildup in your machine that leads to stinky clothes!

If you have a load of heavily soiled clothes, you can add the occasional second pump, but it’s more effective to treat potential stains with PreSpot. PreSpot and MelaPower are designed to work together to keep your laundry clean and looking new longer! Need an added boost of scent? Add MelaBoost!

Using the recommended amount of MelaPower is the best way to keep your laundry clean and fresh and your washer smelling its best!

The Cleanest Clothes—Even in Cold Water

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know that washing your laundry in cold water helps protect bright colors and helps clothes last longer?

Washing in cold water requires 90% less energy than washing in hot water. Each household that makes the switch to cold-water washing eliminates about 1,600 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

Switch to MelaPower with confidence. Its triple-enzyme formula is incredibly effective at removing dirt and stains in cold water.
