Unscented
Laundry week!
This week we are introducing a new sales feature in the store and
on the website. On Mondays I will introduce you to a product that you may not
know about and then we put it on sale
Friday for the weekend! Sports Suds and Wool
Dryer Balls are the products of the
week on sale for 20% off the retail price!
Sports Suds is bar none the best unscented laundry product I've
ever tried. It's a simple white powder
that was originally designed to get the stink out of sport and yoga type
clothes, and I’ll tell you lots of cool ways it will take
stink out of almost everything you own.
I use it for all of my laundry, all of the time. Wool Dryer
Balls are a very neat, eco friendly way to get your clothes dry with no static
and no scent......
Every day I will mention something good, fun or useful about this
product here and on all our social media pages: Facebook, Twitter, linkedIn etc.
On Friday morning the product(s) will go on sale until the following
Monday. You can reserve your product
purchase by phone or email or order it online to hold it at the
sale price for pick up or shipping starting on the Friday.
Here
is why I think you should try them.....
Sports Suds are Canadian, Simple, Earth Friendly,
Sustainably sourced and the product does exactly what they
say it will. The happy people at Sports Suds up the road a bit in
Milton make sure all Sport Suds products are made from naturally occurring
ingredients of non-animal origin are non-toxic and hypoallergenic. They DO NOT contain dyes, phosphates, UV
brighteners, bleach or perfumes and there are no additives or fillers to create
bulk and weight. All Sport Suds products
are safe for septic and grey water systems, highly biodegradable and certified
safe for use in small lakes and streams (OECD 301A). And of course, they never test on
animals.
Moss Creek Wool Dryer Balls are Canadian, Reusable All
Natural Wool Balls that last for hundreds of laundry loads. What's a Dryer Ball? You use them in your dryer as a replacement
for disposable dryer sheets and/ or, synthetic fabric softener to soften
clothing, reduce static cling and wrinkles.
Felted wool absorbs water and regulates humidity level in dryer. The unbleached, undyed balls bounce
around your dryer (making a lovely, peaceful bonging sound by the
way) separating clothed and helping them dry faster reducing dryer time, saving
electricity, time and money. They work
with all clothing types including cloth diapers, blankets, towels and down
jackets. Wool fibres do not come off on
clothing.
You can buy these awesome products at an even better discount if
you buy them together in the Unscented Laundry Week Special! Save and extra 5% on top of the 20% off

AND this, is WHY it's
Unscented Laundry week!
It's funny you know while I was starting to write this post I
found out that today apparently is "National Hug Day" and I was
working from home so I was not forced into any random acts
of hugging. You see, I'm not much
of a hugger. Sure, if you've known me
for a long time and you haven't seen me for a long time then go ahead, but
other than that I don't really get the hug thing. If you must hug me, ask permission please. I
understand some people get joy out of the process; some inexplicable
warm and fuzzy feeling or some such.
What isn't funny? It seems
about 90% of people that hug me have some form of synthetic scented product
molecule on their person and given my sensitivities that hug means little
to me but an immediate unpleasant sinus reaction that leads within minutes to a
very painful headache and there ain't nothing warm and fuzzy about that.
If you buy your fragranced products (Body Spray, Cologne, Perfume,
Laundry soap, Dryer sheets, Laundry additives, Deodorant, Lotions, Candles
and so on and on) in a department store, drug store and yes, a pretty
little gift store even a health food store in some cases you probably reek of a
synthetic fragrance. I had a medical
procedure yesterday and the nurse who put in my IV and the Doc doing the
procedure were covered in synthetic scented yuckiness. I hadn't eaten solid food in 29 hours and
had consumed no fluids of any sort for 9 hours by the time I met the
Doc..... my reaction was extra lovely given how heightened my senses
are during deprivation like that and they are both darned lucky my stomach was empty
or I surely would have made their shoes aware of how nauseous their fragrances
made me. Fragrance free environment my
ass!
You should know by now at ellënoire hand makes a huge percentage
of what we sell and almost 90% of it is left totally unscented on the
shelf and is scented (with only essential oils and truly natural ingredients of
course) if you request it. Finding
unscented products on the market is very hard for us sensitive people and I
have a tough time finding any to sell other than my own brand. Many large companies call their unscented
products "Scent Free" but in most cases a "Masking Agent"
ingredient is used to stop the fragrance receptors in your brain
from detecting the chemicals they did not take out. They may have taken out the scents, but
they left the other yucky chemicals the scent was covering up in the
first place.
Personally, after finally discovering a world with very few,
if any artificial scents, masking agents or yucky chemicals I've found
more than ever that I like the scent of real things. The scent of people is quite
pleasant most of the time. The scent of unscented people wearing unscented
cloth is kinda cool too. Did you know
cotton, smells different than wool or silk or....? I bet many of you have never smelled
the scent of totally unscented laundry.
Someday I'll explain why we would all get along better
in the world if we weren't all covered in fakey-fake scents all the time.
But for now, try the fun, functional products I
mentioned above, or try the unscented laundry week special.
Don't forget, we’ll be announcing a new spotlight sale early each week
and start the sale every Friday!
