Thinking of switching to laundry capsules?  

While many of us are firmly in Team Liquid or Team Powder (and unlikely to change our minds!) others may be just a little bit curious about capsules – wondering what benefits they might have over more traditional detergents.

Perhaps you’ve wondered if they clean as effectively? Or if they have natural ingredients... or if they impact the environment.  Wonder no more!  Here’s a quick run down of five reasons you might want to make the switch to laundry capsules.

1. Convenience

This is one of the biggest reasons people choose capsules and it requires very little explanation.  With laundry capsules, there’s no measuring or dosing – you just throw one in before adding your laundry on top.  No mess, no fuss… just one and done.  For those with busy lives, this is definitely a plus. 

2.    Powerful Cleaning performance

Can something so small actually clean well?  Yes it can. Capsules rate surprisingly well in the cleaning stakes – usually performing better, in fact, than liquid or powder.  

Why?  Laundry capsules contain ingredients in a concentrated form, which results in excellent stain removal and cleaning power.   

This is the case with Bosisto’s Power+ Laundry Capsules.  With 6 x enzymes, they’re our most powerful stain removal capsule.

3.    Reduces waste

Did you know Bosisto’s Laundry Capsules packs have 76% less plastic packaging compared to our Laundry Liquid?  If you’re conscious of cutting down on waste, this could be something to consider.

Then there’s the human error factor when it comes to usage.  With both powder and liquids, it’s easy to use more than the required amount, thinking a little bit extra will clean better (which isn’t actually true!).  Capsules are pre-measured with the perfect amount of product for a load of laundry, so it avoids the temptation of excess product use.

4.    Portability

Light and easy to transport and store, Laundry Capsules are perfect to throw in your luggage when staying at a caravan park or Air BnB, or take with you to a communal laundry.

5.    More natural than you think!

It’s easy to think of capsules as a high-tech, chemically laden product due to the brands which have traditionally dominated the market.  

With their multi-coloured pods, plastic wrappers and long, scientific sounding ingredients, at first glance capsules might not seem a natural choice for families wanting to live a low-tox life.

However, things are changing.  Brands like Bosisto’s now offer products that lean into plant-based and naturally derived ingredients, which are fragrance and dye free, and have biodegradable formulas and film. 

If you’re keen on being clean and green, try Bosisto’s Sensitive Laundry Capsules. Dermatologically tested and made with Australian eucalyptus oil grown in Inglewood, Victoria, they’re a convenient alternative you can also feel good about.
