Bosisto's Sensitive Laundry Powder Questions & Answers

Hello Brian,
The Bosisto's Sensitive Laundry Powder is grey water and septic safe. Thanks, Bosisto's

Hi Jason
Unfortunately we can't recommend that, because we haven't tested this for use on animals. We would hate for your dog to have a reaction to any of the ingredients. You could also ask your vet for advice, we are happy to provide an ingredient list if you email [email protected].
Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Bev
I am informed that our laundry powder IS safe for grey water/ septic systems. We don't highlight this on our box because our marketing focus is sensitive skin rather than eco. But this information will be going up on the new version of our website that's currently being created. Many thanks, Bosisto's

Hi Sheila
Unfortunately Bosisto's doesn't have distribution in France. Sorry! You could try online, but we're not aware of a retailer that sells there. Kind Regards, Bosisto's

Hi Ozcan
Yes, it's suitable for use in septic systems.
Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Jenny
We're happy to send you out an ingredients list if you can drop us an email at [email protected]. Many thanks, Bosisto's

Hi MaggieClare
Thankyou for reaching out and we appreciate the opportunity to explain why we include the plastic bag!
We need to use an inner plastic liner because of the eucalyptus oil in our formula. We use real, 100% natural essential oil which is sensitive to exposure to the air. Without the protective liner it loses its aroma and potency.
We're hoping to move away from the plastic bag but our R&D team have not yet found an alternative material that works and won't price us out of the market in terms of production costs. Rest assured we are still working on it! It's very important to us to strive for sustainability and we've also been signatories of the Australian Packaging Convenant since 2006.
In the meantime you can recycle this bag at soft plastic recycling bins found at most supermarkets.
Hope this explaination helps and let us know if you have any further questions!
Kindest Regards,
Bosisto's.

Hi ladyscottau
You can usually find this at most Coles and Woolworths, but often need to look hard as we only have one facing in most stores. If you're still having trouble give us a call and we can try and find a specific store in your area. Freecall 1800 655 841 during business hours.
Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi ellep
We're more than happy to email you a list of ingredients, no problem. Contact [email protected] to request. We're currently developing a new website and our full ingredients list for our laundry and cleaning products will be published on that, too.
And yes, the formula is suitable for grey water use.
Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Helen
Bosisto's Senstive Laundry powder would not cause or exacerbate either condition you mention. It is independently dermatologically tested and proven non irritating to sensitive skin. The product also does not contain lime stone. If you have any other specific questions our R&D team would be happy to answer if you'd like to email or call us? Freecall 1800 655 841 or email [email protected].
Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Brian
Yes, thankyou! You should be able to find Bosisto's Laundry Powder in Woolworths, they're still a stockist of the product although it's often up high, or down low and only a single facing. Shoot us an email at [email protected] with your suburb details and we'll check your local store to make certain. Att: to Daniel. Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Toni
Thankyou for your question! Well for starters Bosisto's Sensitive Laundry powder doesn't contain fragrances only natural eucalyptus oil, as the chap above has noted! So it won't mask odours with synthetic perfumes. Eucalyptus oil has natural odour-busting powers, and it's wonderful for keeping your whole laundry fresh.

Interestingly, Surf came up one of the worst brands in our internal studies for "fillers" which are those little granules that don't dissolve in the wash. Fillers can get trapped in the fibres of your clothes and retain body odour, so it's possible it's actually making matters worse. Bosisto's is 100% soluble.

For under shirt arms, try some Eucalyptus Spray (available at Coles or Woolies in medicinal aisle) prior to washing, or Sard soap as suggested. We also have a fantastic Pre-Wash but that's only available at our online store.

There's no reason you can't also continue to add vinegar to your wash - it's also a natural fabric softener so you can eliminate that. For body odour, you need less fragrances and chemicals to interact, not more.

Finally, some people also find adding a capful or two of 100% pure eucalyptus oil to the wash useful for the final rinse cycle to leave washing extra fresh. It's great for musty odours in your machine too.

Hope all this info is helpful.
Kind Regards, Bosisto's

Hi LizD
Much as we'd like to assist with this question, we're not animal experts! Our laundry powder has been dermatologically tested and found non-irritating to sensitive skin in human volunteers, but no testing has been done in regards to animals. Imagine it would be perfectly fine, and it certainly shouldn't irritate any further, but it's always best to check with your vet to see what they recommend. Kindest Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Cikl - yes, Bosisto's Laundry Powder is excellent for washing cloth/ reusable nappies. It's 100% biodegradable, contains no softeners, bleach or artificial fragrances. Australian made & owned and no animal testing.
Unfortunately we do not currently sell this product outside of Australia.
Hope this helps! Kind Regards, Bosisto's.

Hi Annie,
Joy has answered the question marvellously above! We swear we haven't paid her!
Yes, Bosisto's Laundry Powder should do the trick with helping keep your clothes bacteria-free. If you'd like an extra dose of insurance, you could buy a 200mL bottle of our Bosisto's Eucalyptus Oil next time you're in the chemist, or the medicinal section of the supermarket and add 2 capfuls in as well (it doesn't matter when you add it). That's the pure stuff and will surely blitz any germs remaining. Every now and then, run an empty cycle on hot and add a cup of vinegar and 3-4 capfuls of the eucalyptus oil, to get rid of any accumulated gunk.
Good luck .... wishing you lovely fresh laundry!
Kind Regards,
Bosisto's.

Hi Peter - so glad you liked our Bosisto's EucoFresh Laundry Powder! By Australian law washing powders are not required to list ingredients on the box (and you'll see none do) however like others in the eco category we list on the pack what isn't in there (ie. fillers, artificial fragrances etc.). Which ingredient in particular was a concern to you? The level of eucalyptus oil? If you can expand on your reasons for the query I'd be more than happy to check individual ingredients or safety data and get back to you. Kind Regards, Bosisto's.
