Dry Clean Only? Not Anymore. A Greener Way to Tackle Wedding Season Stains

Wedding Season vs. Your Laundry Basket

How many weddings have you been to this summer? Team nimble cares’ current record is eight! That’s eight outfits, eight gifts, and let’s be honest… eight stubborn stains.

Because yes, we all love dressing up. But the aftermath? Silk dresses with “dry clean only” labels, wine-stained shirts, and delicates you’re scared to touch. Wedding season isn’t just tough on your wallet—it’s brutal on your laundry.    

You could just stop going to weddings, but then you would miss out on the two-day hangover and seeing your uncle doing the macarena. Alternatively, you can decide that it's time to face that pile of dresses at the back of the wardrobe, and get them clean, fresh and ready for Christmas party season (sorry, but you know it's coming). 

Dry Cleaning isn’t always the best option

Dry cleaning might sound like the easy fix, but it’s pricey, risky, and full of toxic chemicals. The ‘convenience’ of this service can be damaging for your health and the planet:

●      Traditional dry cleaners use a solvent called perchloroethylene (aka perc) which is classified as a human carcinogen, with a range of side effects from dizziniess to hormone disruption. That ‘dry clean smell’ – that’s perc and it can hang around in your wardrobe and home

●      Perc is a volatile organic compound which evaporates easily and contributes to smog and air pollution

●      Not to mention the negative impact dry cleaners have on water pollution, soil contamination and energy use

An easy, greener alternative - without the toxic aftermath 

Our plant-based laundry detergent is gentle enough for silks and delicates, powerful on stains, and toxin-free with no hormone disruptors. You don’t need to buy a separate detergent for handwashing and day-to-day laundry.    

And our super-concentrated superstar formula isn’t here to waste your hard-earned cash either. At up to 45 washes per bottle, that means every wash - whether it’s your everyday gym gear or that dress that only comes out for weddings, birthdays and revenge - costs just 22 pence.

Strong, gentle, dependable, non-toxic and with no synthetic drama… kind of like the perfect marriage.
