What is inside

What is in a detergent, which ones list the ingredients people avoid, and what the public record says about a brand.

• What laundry detergent is non toxic

  Molly's Suds powder has the cleanest label of 9 detergents we read. 2 pass our fragrance, ethoxylate and preservative checks, none are Safer Choice.

• Laundry detergent without 1,4-dioxane

  Molly's Suds powder lists no ethoxylated ingredient, the kind that can carry 1,4-dioxane. 8 of 12 detergents we read do, 3 of them Safer Choice.

• Laundry detergent sheets without PVA

  One laundry sheet says it has no PVA. Six brands we could read all list it. Here is each label, plus a powder that skips PVA for good.

• Is Molly's Suds non toxic

  Unscented Molly's Suds powder lists four ingredients, no fragrance and no ethoxylates, and EWG grades it A. It is not on EPA's Safer Choice list.

• Is The Clean People laundry detergent non toxic

  No record rates The Clean People sheets. Their Fragrance Free label lists no fragrance or dye, but it has PVA film and one ethoxylated ingredient.
