Because none of us lives alone on a deserted island in the middle of an ocean, we’re all exposed, in some way or another, to toxic chemicals every single day. Chemicals are in the air, the water, and in almost every product we use in our home and on our bodies. Some of us are fine with this. Some of us try to live as green as can be. But some of us, like me, have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity).
Having MCS is life changing and presents unique challenges. When I’m exposed to almost anything that contains chemicals, especially scents, I get very ill. I have adverse reactions to perfumes, colognes, hair products, deodorants, household cleaning products and laundry products, to name but a few. But these items are just the tip of the iceberg. The products do not even have to be in my home or make direct contact with my body. My body reacts adversely if I’m in the same room, or vicinity, with someone that’s used chemical laden products. Clothing washed with scented laundry products cause major issues for me. Laundry products with scented additives are heavily marketed. In order to get that scent, “Fresh,” “Springtime,” or whatever, laundry product makers add chemicals. The sole purpose of some laundry products is to add a scent that lasts up to 6 weeks. Needless to say those scents linger and can be difficult to remove.
That, my friends, is why we’re thrilled to partner with EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer.
I’ve been using EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer on all my grandkid’s clothes. It makes a world of difference to my health. Seriously! I’m not exaggerating. For over a year or so I wasn’t able to go in a guest room where our grand’s clothes are kept without experiencing burning eyes, itchy throat and chest, and headache. My lips and tongue would also go numb.
Needless to say I was very excited to give EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer a go. I had piles of clothes to test it on. And test I did. I was a bit skeptical to say the least. I basically figured that guest room would be off limits to me for the foreseeable future. When the grandkids were at our house I would simply feel the repercussions of laundry products used in their home.
EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer is easy to use with exponential results. I simply added it to my wash cycle and voila … clean laundry that didn’t affect my MCS. That proved life changing for me.
I haven’t always had MCS. It started 5 or 6 years ago with a simple sensitivity to scents. With more exposure over time it has gotten progressively worse and worse for me. It has reached the point where I have to carry a surgical mask with me at all times. What I’ve learned is MCS is getting more and more prevalent with more people being affected. Reports indicate more people are showing reactions to everyday chemicals all the time.
EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer can be a life saver for so many. While it was designed and created with the MCS community in mind, everybody can benefit from it. It’s perfect for removing fragrances, tobacco smoke, musty and body odors from everyday clothes and towels.
EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer is non toxic and earth friendly. But most importantly, it really works. And that’s good enough for me and my family!
Brandon Smith says
Non toxic and earth friendly products are becoming the norm, and rightfully so. Too many chemicals and scents are put into our laundry products, as well as other cleaning products. I would recommend EnviroKlenz Laundry Enhancer to anyone who has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, or they just don’t like a lot of scent in their laundry soap.

I can’t imagine what it is like to live with a chemical sensitivity. I’m glad there is a laundry product that is available for you to use and others who suffer from the same.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
This sounds like great stuff. I imagine living with this kind of issue can be both uncomfortable and incredibly inconvenient, as well.
Bill Sweeney says
Good God! That is a horrible thing to live with. I’m glad Enviroklenz is working out for you. We don’t have any issues like this, but I’d still love to do away with as many chemicals as possible.
Kristen @ My 3 Little Kittens says
I have never thought about chemical sensitivity. Thank goodness there are options for those who suffer!
Liz Mays says
I’m glad this can help so much with MCS! Some household chemicals really are harsh so I can see why this is important!
Olivia Douglass says
This looks like a great product. I am always looking for new laundry products.
Kelly Hutchinson says
My husband has chemical and metal allergies. I had not heard of this brand before. I need to look into this for him.
Sarah says
I need to try this product. I have various chemical sensitivities and finding laundry products is almost impossible. I am definitely in need of a product like this!
Lisa Bristol says
My Sister has really sensitive skin. I will have to share this with her. She is always trying new detergents to find one that doesn’t bother her.
Claudia Krusch says
My friend has really sensitive skin and was just telling me about this laundry enhancer. I will have to give it a try for my family.
Sinisa says
I am glad this helps in a big way. Sounds like a great product.
MerryK says
How interesting! My aunt has MCS and I haven’t seen her in years because she has reactions to so many things (and I live in Canada and she lives in the US). I am so glad that companies are trying to come up with products to help.
Cathi says
I had no idea you lived in Canada. For some reason I thought you were in the Pacific Northwest. I feel for your Aunt. MCS is debilitating and it really does alienate you socially. I haven’t been to a family party in a very long time. I avoid crowds unless it’s outside and that doesn’t always help. I rarely go into a store because of all the scents and chemicals. A few weeks back I cut all my hair off so I don’t have to use hair products anymore. I’m embracing the short short AND gray (no more hair dye) hair and no makeup. I suppose it’s easier for me to embrace than other people in my life because I don’t have to look at me. Big Smile!

As a Chemically Hypersensitive person I am touched and encouraged by the kind, thoughtful comments of so many people here. My sincere thanks to all of you. Jackie in Halifax, N.S.
