Speciality Fabric Care: The Laundress

Stain free, Stress free
"Pit” Stain Removal Recipe:

*for use on durable fibers such as cotton and cotton blends

-Pour The Laundress Stain Solution on the direct stained area.
-Run hot water (we pour boiling water from the kettle) onto stain and soak in a basin.
(I usually soak for an hour or so, run some errands, etc)

-If stain has faded but isn’t completely gone, repeat the process.
(I keep repeating till satisfied)

-After pre-treating wash with The Laundress Detergent in the machine.
(We recommend the Whites Detergents for whites)


Stain Solution
non-toxic, biodegradable, allergen free

We all know how frustrating tough stains can be. However, if treated properly they can be beat. The Laundress Stain Solution is enzyme-based to handle all mishaps. The Stain Solution is better to apply to a stain and soak/launder. Recommended for tough stains such as wine, tea, blood & grass.

Whites Detergent 3X Concentrate
non-toxic, biodegradable, allergen free

We know how hard it is to keep your favorite white t-shirts white. The Laundress Whites Detergent is formulated to keep your whites as clean and bright as new. This product is composed to illuminate your white laundry by combining a non-bleach agents, optical brightener and stain fighting agents with our Classic scent.

Wash & Stain Bar
non-toxic, biodegradable, allergen free

The Laundress developed Wash & Stain Bars as an alternative to removing tough stains on your sweaters, delicates and more. This product can be used for spot cleaning, hand washing or laundering on the go! The Wash & Stain Bar is best when used for working on stains found on collars, cuffs, small straps & other tricky areas. Not recommended for wine or tea stains. They're not just for washing...place in a drawer, closet and luggage. Airplane friendly.

Stiffen Up
non-toxic, biodegradable, allergen free

We know how important crisp clothes are, but who wants to smell like starch? The Laundress developed Stiffen-Up with their Classic scent for starching use.  Stiffen-Up in Classic scent will leave your perfectly pressed items smelling fresh.

White Jeans!

Last summer I was in New York and I saw this guy sitting next to a pile of garbage on a filthy stoop. A really filthy, a New York Filthy, stoop.




A lot of people have expressed worry over wearing white because it might get dirty. White jeans scare people. Like the fearlessness that this kid shows I beg you to also have no fear.  


We've brought in The Laundress laundering products so that you can battle stains and prolong the life of your precious whites and other scary fabrics. I can not preach the value of the Stain Solution enough. I got chocolate on my favourite white Yoshi top, and barbeque sauce, in the same evening. The next day I got both stains out with the stain solution. 


The white detergent is really effective for keeping your whites from yellowing. I use it to hand wash my favourite white tops and after a full season of wear they are all still white. It's not luck folks, it's staring fear in the eye and going forward.

Laundress

If you love your clothes we now have some amazing detergents you can use to show them just how much you care for them. The Laundress is more than pretty packaging.

Denim Wash
If you love dark raw denim, but find the need to wash them before the recommended 6-8 months this detergent is for you. It will help your jeans keep their indigo colour longer and it will also soften the denim so that it is more gentle on the skin. Although we are all pretty intense denim purists here at Lark we also live in the real world where beer is spilled and hot dogs fall apart.




Stain Solution

It works, it really does.







Delicate Wash

All ladies have delicates to wash. If you don't have any silks or other such fibers in your wardrobe it's worth buying some just so you can use this detergent.







Le Chien et Le Chat Detergent

If you have pets this is a must. It even removes the three molecules that make cat pee stick to any clothes that your cat uses as it's litter box. The last cat I had that did that got an eviction notice pretty quickly, but then I didn't have The laundress.





Sweater Stone

The sweater stone takes piling off of your sweaters making them look like new again. All wool piles, how much depends on the type of wool. All you have to do is gently rub the sweater stone over the piles and they come away easily.





Darks Detergent

Faded black clothing is sad. A little black dress is completely ineffective if it's grey, so you may find this wash useful.




Whites Detergent

This detergent smells amazing, and in our experience it definitely does make your whites brighter. It's better than bleach as bleach will yellow your whites.




Fabric Fresh
This product uses enzymes to kill odor causing bacteria. You can use it on upholstery, your clothes and fabric slippers too! It's great for traveling, and life in general.




Crease Release
Perfect for travel.



Machine Cleanser

The Starter Kit
This is a great gift for someone who appreciates fine things, beautifully packaged things, and things that smell nice. It's also a great travel kit for someone who globe trots with their favourite garments in tow.


We have testers will all four scents for you to smell. The Laundress makes all of their products with care, they test on themselves and use no ingredients that are harmful for the earth. The detergents are all concentrated so you really don't need very much to get your clothes clean.

At the end of the day one of the best part is how well everything works and also how amazing everything smells!
