Why We Started Rustic Rinse: A Natural Laundry Detergent You Can Trust

Welcome to Rustic Rinse!

Hi there, and welcome to Rustic Rinse — your new favorite stop for natural-inspired laundry care! We're so excited you're here for our very first blog post.

Whether you're exploring gentler ways to wash baby clothes, looking to simplify your laundry routine, or trying to move away from overpowering synthetic scents, you’re in good company.

At Rustic Rinse, our mission is rooted in simplicity and care. We aim to offer a handcrafted laundry detergent made with just a few familiar ingredients — no unnecessary extras.

What Makes Rustic Rinse Different?

Many conventional laundry detergents contain long ingredient lists, synthetic fragrances, and additives that can be hard to understand. At Rustic Rinse, we take a simpler approach — one grounded in transparency and intention.

Our small-batch laundry detergent is made with:

  • Baking soda

  • Washing soda

  • Sea salt

  • Pure Castile soap

  • Essential oils (never synthetic perfumes)

We leave out artificial dyes, fillers, and harsh additives — using only the basics needed to help your laundry come out feeling clean and refreshed.

A Thoughtful Option for Sensitive Skin and Families

Rustic Rinse was created by a mom who wanted a more gentle laundry solution for her household. While every skin type is different, many customers have shared that they appreciate our minimalist ingredient list — especially those with sensitivities or fragrance concerns.

Our formulas are low-sudsing and made without synthetic fragrances, making them a mindful alternative for those seeking simpler products in their home.

Our Commitment to You

Every batch of Rustic Rinse is handcrafted with care. We focus on ingredient transparency, intentional formulation, and small-batch quality — because we believe clean laundry should feel good in more ways than one.

From baby onesies to daily linens, our detergent is designed to support a more conscious laundry routine.
