Oh dear, I am wondering whether there is anything safe out there to use. Now the clothing industry is being targeted to highlight that we are in danger of being totally surrounded by toxins, whether in the food we eat, the water we drink and the clothes on our backs. and the products we use for daily hygiene.

Dry cleaning is also notorious for the toxic chemicals involved, which can off-gas for days afterward. Microfibers are also released from your clothes during washing, contributing to declining water quality and destruction of wildlife. Our Toxic Clothes
