We talk a lot about going natural on THE/THIRTY, whether it's looking for remedies for allergies, changing up our period products, or testing out the latest natural deodorants. Making the switch to something more natural, whatever it is, can be beneficial to your health and also the environment, reducing your carbon footprint. For us, the term "natural," means products with no chemicals or artificial ingredients, which are better for the environment, whether they're biodegradable or recyclable.

One other opportunity to go natural is in your pile of dirty clothes. There are so many natural laundry detergents out there, but it's hard to tell which ones will actually get your clothes clean. And that's especially important when you're dealing with a load of smelly workout gear. You definitely don't want to be that person at the gym or fitness class who's literally stinking up the place.

We did some of the homework for you and rounded up some of the best natural detergents out there. Take a look and see if you're ready to make the switch.
