detergent pump refill
smart laundry just got smarter
this detergent pump refill packs a lot of punch. 85 loads worth, to be exact. that’s because our patent-pending smartclean technology® uses an ultra concentrated plant-based formula that delivers big cleaning power with just a few tiny squirts. which is why we can fit so much into this amazingly small pouch while yielding an 80% packaging savings in plastic, water and energy at the same time. now would be a good time for your happy dance.
fresh airyou've heard that saying before, when something refreshing just breezed in, and everything's a little bit better because of it? well, this scent is just like that – a breath of fresh air. the kind you smell. pretty much named itself.
