Roux Maison - Love Your Laundry

My hair stylist, Toni, recently gave me some samples (travel sizes) of an all natural laundry detergent made here in Nashville. In fact, I think I got almost 10 samples from her. I've been making my own laundry detergent for quite some time because I am concerned about the chemical toxins in store-bought laundry detergents - but that really gets to be a pain sometimes. It was a nice surprise to see a local company making exactly what I wanted.

Needless to say, I have used up all my samples, and I am happy to report that Roux Maison is an excellent alternative to your regular clothes detergent. I found their products to be exactly as advertised: "Highly concentrated, eco friendly, fabric specific laundry detergents and stain remover for all of your laundering needs." I washed sheets, clothes, towels, you name it, and I was happy with how they all came out.

Roux Maison offers two scents in all their products - Ambrosia and Sweet Tea along with an unscented version of their detergents as well.  My favorite was Sweet Tea!

Their website has loads of information (pardon the pun), along with a list of stores that carry their products. You can also buy online. Please check them out!
