¿Qué son las tiras de detergente para ropa ecológica SaltyLama?
En pocas palabras, son la solución más saludable y conveniente para lavar la ropa. Hojas ultraconcentradas de detergente para ropa biodegradable a base de plantas, nuestras tiras se disuelven rápidamente en agua para eliminar la suciedad, las manchas y los olores no deseados de las telas. Brindan una solución más limpia, tanto para el planeta como para el cuarto de lavado, con tiras premedidas para que no tenga que preocuparse por los líquidos o polvos que ensucian ni por los pesados garrafones de plástico. En cambio, nuestras tiras de lavandería se compactan en bolsas biodegradables.
¿De qué están hechas las tiras de ropa?
Nuestras tiras de lavandería veganas e hipoalergénicas utilizan ingredientes de origen vegetal (la mayoría derivados del coco, que son suaves con las telas y la piel) y, a diferencia de los detergentes regulares, no contienen toxinas dañinas como parabenos o fosfatos. Entendemos que tienes dudas. ¿Cómo puede una tira tan pequeña limpiar una carga de ropa? Debido a que nuestra fórmula a base de plantas desplaza las moléculas de suciedad, se enjuagan fácilmente por el desagüe.
How well does SaltyLama actually clean clothes?
How can such a small strip clean an entire load of laundry?
Because our plant-based formula displaces dirt molecules, they are easily rinsed down the drain.
Our laundry strips successfully and completely remove dirt, stains, and unwanted odors from fabrics.
Unlike some alternative detergents, our strips fully dissolve in cold water, as well as warm and hot.
Strips? Sheets? What the heck is the difference?
Two strips make up a single sheet. Think of a chocolate bar (who doesn’t love a chocolate analogy?).
You eat a square of chocolate if you want a little nibble. You eat the whole bar if you need that sweet fix. Our laundry sheets are very similar. You can tear off a strip for a smaller load or use an entire sheet - two strips – for a larger load. That simple!
Me gusta mi detergente líquido. ¿Es realmente tan dañino?
En una palabra, absolutamente. Las principales marcas de detergentes para ropa a menudo contienen productos químicos nocivos que pueden causar todo tipo de consecuencias negativas para la salud, desde irritación de la piel hasta carcinogenicidad. El detergente regular viene con una verdadera lista de ingredientes que debes evitar. Entre ellos se incluyen irritantes y toxinas como fosfatos, formaldehído, colorantes, lejía con cloro, laurilsulfato de sodio (SLS), sulfato de amonio, amoníaco, etoxilato de nonilfenol y fenoles. Si ve alguno de esos ingredientes, el producto es dañino para la salud humana, ambiental y acuática. De hecho, el estado de Nueva York acaba de promulgar una prohibición del químico 1,4-dioxano, que puede causar cáncer y se encuentra en los detergentes. Esta nueva ley puede obligar a algunos detergentes a salir completamente de Nueva York. ¿No debería ser suficiente para hacerte reconsiderar con qué químicos estás lavando tu ropa?
¿No son las cápsulas mejores que el detergente regular?
Las tiras de lavandería de SaltyLama se descomponen por completo en la carga de ropa sin introducir microplásticos ni productos químicos nocivos. No se puede decir lo mismo de las vainas, que son bolsas altamente concentradas de detergente normal. Para ser claros: las vainas son tóxicas y las tiras no lo son. Los estudios han demostrado que hasta el 75% de la película de plástico en las cápsulas de lavandería no se descompone por completo, lo que significa que ingresa a nuestro suministro de agua. Por otro lado, las tiras de lavandería no usan plástico, ni siquiera en el empaque, y son una alternativa más segura para el medio ambiente, tu ropa y tu salud. ¡Y funcionan igual de bien!
He visto marcas similares. ¿Qué hace que SaltyLama sea mejor?
Mientras que la mayoría de las marcas de tiras para lavar ropa tienen una base de maicena, nuestras tiras tienen una base de coco. Esto no solo los hace suaves con la piel y fuertes con las manchas y los olores, sino que se disuelven más completamente sin dejar residuos ni rastros de detergente. Como empresa, somos un equipo excepcionalmente dinámico y globalmente diverso de personas con un enfoque de "planeta antes que ganancias". Como tal, nos dedicamos a desarrollar productos ecológicos de alta calidad que tengan un impacto social y ambiental positivo.
How long does SaltyLama last? What is its shelf life?
How does three years sound? Amazing, right?
Our products last far longer than the 6-12 months recommended by conventional liquid and powder detergents.
So, go on and pick up the four-pack of our biggest box with 102 sheets – you've got nothing to lose and plenty of money to save.
Can I use SaltyLama with a septic system?
Since our laundry strips are biodegradable, they are perfectly safe for septic and grey water.
This makes SaltyLama a great option for smaller living scenarios like boats and RVs.
Will SaltyLama actually dissolve? How fast does it dissolve?
YES! In SECONDS.
In fact, SaltyLama is so effective because it dissolves immediately, ensuring all the laundry gets a good and thorough washing.
You might discover that if you use other branded laundry strips they don’t dissolve. That’s because they use corn starch.
Our coconut-based formula clumps far less. You never have to worry about our laundry strips not dissolving.
You don’t have to be careful about where you place the strip or how you place it. You don’t have to use a special temperature or setting.
Our laundry strips work both in the drum and the detergent compartment. You can use it in delicate or sanitary settings. Hot or cold.

How do I use SaltyLama Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Strips?
Be honest — you hate lugging around your laundry detergent jug, almost as much as you dread cleaning up the dripping, sticky mess that’s left behind.
Never mind that you need to find space for it on your already-crowded shelf.
SaltyLama saves you from all that hassle.
If this is your first time using our SaltyLama Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Strips, don’t worry — we’re here to help you figure out how best to use them for you and your family’s specific needs.
Our laundry strips are highly versatile and can be used in all types of washing machines: top loaders, front loaders, and HE machines.
You can even dissolve them in water and wash them by hand.
Top Loader with Detergent Compartment
If you have a top loading washing machine with a detergent compartment, you can tear your laundry strip into smaller pieces and add it to the compartment.
The sheet will dissolve in the water in seconds.
Then add it to your drum the same way you would for liquid detergent.
Top Loader without Detergent Compartment
To use SaltyLama Eco-Laundry Detergent Strips in a top-loading machine without a detergent compartment, add the strip after you have added your clothes, making sure it lands on top of your clothes where the water comes into your machine.
This ensures that your strip dissolves entirely at the beginning of the load and cleans continuously throughout the wash.
Front Loader
To use a strip in your front-loading washing machine, simply tear a strip off and either place it in the drum with your clothes or fold it and add it to the compartment where you would normally pour your liquid detergent.
As the water flows into your machine, the strip will dissolve, and the detergent will be added to your drum the same way it would for liquid or powder. There should be no residue, as our strips dissolve in seconds.
How much laundry detergent should I use?
Because we offer ultra-concentrated sheets and no liquid, we’ve done the math for you.
No messy spills or hard to read measuring cups. Just tear off a single strip down the easy-to-rip perforated line.
Usually, one strip equals one medium to one large load. Or you can tear one strip in half for a small to medium load, or use two strips for an extra-large or heavily soiled load.
Measuring out the amount is that easy. Here is the rule of thumb:
- Use a half a strip for a small to medium load. This is typically anything under 6 lbs., or just a handful of fabrics.
- Use one strip for a medium/regular load. This is an armload or roughly 11 lbs. of clothes.
- Use two strips (one sheet) for a large, bulky, or heavily soiled load. This is a very full armload or around 21 lbs. Anything over that, or bulky items like comforters and pillows, can also be considered extra-large.
- Are you a visual person? Here’s a graphic showing how many strips to use.
Are you sure a half a sheet or one strip of SaltyLama is really enough to clean my clothes?
Definitely!
In fact, over-use of detergent is incredibly common.
Did you know that most people use three times more laundry detergent than they need?
It’sdifficult to measure the right amount when you’re pouring liquid. The spouts on detergent containers and jugs are often large, and the measurement lines on the cup usually show up to five regular loads of laundry.
So, it’s easy to accidentally use three or more regular loads worth of detergent without even realizing it!
We’ve got our effectiveness configured perfectly.
No math, measuring, or fiddling. Just a simple strip does the trick.
What materials can I clean SaltyLama laundry strips with? Natural wool? Silk? Cloth diapers? Athletic gear?
Yes. Yes. Yes. And YES!
You can handwash your delicates, wools, and silks with our laundry strips.
Simply let the strip dissolve in water then get to swishing and scrubbing. And since SaltyLama doesn’t contain any cationic surfactants or solvents, the wicking properties of some synthetic materials won’t be affected at all.
The same applies to cloth diapers. Since SaltyLama is hypoallergenic, you can be assured that your baby’s sensitive skin is treated well.
Plus, the absorbency of the cloth diaper will not be affected.
However, many modern cloth diapers contain a combination of synthetic materials and glues in their support structure.
Any detergent may affect the strength and durability of that support structure.
Always follow the specific washing and detergent recommendations of each clothing manufacturer.

TELL ME ABOUT LOGISTICS
When I buy something from my country, but ship it to a family member or friend in another country, what currency will be required for purchase?
If you purchase SaltyLama in Europe, you (the sender) will be charged your currency rate, but VAT tax for the recipient’s country is applied.
For example, if you are in the UK but are shipping to Spain, you will pay for your SaltyLama gift in pounds while the Spanish VAT tax will be added.
In North America, we do not currently ship outside the U.S.
How much is shipping and handling?
We currently offer free shipping.
However, we have discovered not all mail service providers are using sustainable practices.
To ensure our entire supply chain is sustainable, we will be updating and migrating to a new mailing system.

As soon as we get your order, we process and ship them the following day.

Pretty simple.
So yes, taxes will be added, when applicable, to the final amount.
