Why Koala Eco Doesn't Make Fabric Softeners

At Koala Eco, our commitment to clean ingredients means making thoughtful choices about our product range. One such choice is not producing fabric softeners. Here's why.

Health and Safety

Conventional fabric softeners often contain synthetic chemicals like quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) and artificial fragrances. These substances can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health problems. Many fabric softeners release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to indoor air pollution. Our dedication to creating safe products for every family member, including pets, means avoiding these harmful chemicals.

Environmental Impact

Traditional fabric softeners are harmful to the environment. They often contain non-biodegradable substances that pollute waterways and harm aquatic life. The production and disposal of these chemicals contribute to environmental degradation and carbon emissions. Koala Eco is committed to protecting the planet. We use biodegradable ingredients and sustainable packaging to minimise our ecological footprint, avoiding products that compromise our environmental values.

Natural Alternatives

We encourage the use of eco-friendly alternatives to fabric softeners. Our Laundry Wash is infused with essential oils, ensure clothes are clean and fresh without harmful chemicals.

Commitment to Clean Ingredients

Transparency is key at Koala Eco. Our ingredient lists are clear and straightforward, reflecting our commitment to natural components. By not producing fabric softeners, we stay true to our principles, providing safe and effective cleaning solutions.

Koala Eco prioritises the well-being of our customers and the planet, offering products that reflect our values and contribute to a healthier world.
