So it’s week 8 in lockdown as we write this and we have been living, sleeping and bingeing on various things in our oodies and onesies. Every now and then we would take it off to hit the showers. Even less frequently we would reluctantly strip down and nudie run into our laundry to wash them but hmm, what were the settings again?

You open your eyes in the middle of the night and realise you have just had another bout of night sweats. Your pillow case, bedsheets and blankets now share something in common with your gym towel after a hot yoga class! Nothing too much to worry about - sweating in your sleep is a pretty normal occurrence. You get back home and toss the gym towel into the dirty laundry basket but unlike the towel how often do you wash your blankets and your bedding? Full disclosure the next bit may gross you out…

We’ve all had moments when we decide to adopt more sustainable lifestyle choices - composting organics, turning on the AC sparingly, taking shorter showers, taking public transport instead of the car. However there is one unassuming aspect of daily life that environmental impacts may have been overlooked - Laundry.
