Buying handmade is a no-brainer when it comes to things like housewares and spring dresses, but when it comes to things like doing your laundry, the big box store probably seems like the only option. Not true! Not only do handmade laundry accoutrements support independent crafters, but they’re often a lot better for your health and for the planet. Crafters are a lot less likely to use toxic chemicals and harsh abrasives when they’re whipping up home made laundry supplies.
