A beginner’s guide to biodegradable laundry products from Evolve

We all have a Laundry Day. Mine is on Saturday.

My Laundry Day used to look like this: Throughout the week, the laundry pile slowly grows until, by Thursday, a rogue sock escapes and lands on the floor like a ticking bacterial mine. By Saturday, the laundry basket disappears under the weight of it all. I shove the mountain back in, brace myself, and start the dreaded sorting – whites, darks, colours – before loading the washing machine. Then comes the moment of horror: spotting coffee, ink, oil and grease stains. I close the washing machine door and start the first of many cycles. Definitely laundry blues.

But then, something changed.

I swapped out my usual laundry products for Evolve Biodegradable – and just like that, those worries evolved into smiles (see what I did there?). So, here’s your step-by-step guide to Evolve Biodegradable’s laundry lineup, helping you turn Laundry Day blues into Laundry Day bliss.

Evolve Laundry Citrus Gel 

This one's a firm favourite. With its fresh citrus scent, refillable options and a clever pump that makes measuring a breeze, it’s earned a permanent spot on my shelf. The pump gives you the perfect amount every time – no guesswork, no mess. And, many customers with eczema have mentioned that the only product they can use without getting a reaction, is the Evolve Biodegradable Citrus Laundry Gel

For those who prefer their laundry without added scent, the answer lies in …

Newly launched – Evolve Fragrance-free Laundry Detergent Sheets

Did you know: a global survey (reported by ABC Australia) revealed that up to 1 in 3 people experience fragrance sensitivity.

So, when Evolve announced this product, I had to tape my jaw shut.

These 50 pre-measured, fragrance-free sheets come packed in a plastic-free compact paper box. They’re mighty, too – handling roughly 100 loads of 4kg laundry, or 50 loads at 8kg.

Picture this: guests come over, and you whip out one of these little sheets from your handbag to do a quick wash. Cue their confusion. Cue their intrigue. And then, utter surprise when you reveal it’s biodegradable and plastic-free.

Hold on. I’m ordering another box right now …

But what if your guests leave, and you personally prefer fragrance? The good news is that you aren’t stuck with 49.5 fragrance sheets. The answer lies in –

Evolve Laundry Fragrance Booster

Say hello to your new laundry sidekick.

Not only does it tackle stains, but it also leaves your laundry smelling softly of geranium essential oils – think mildly floral with citrus undertones. A little goes a long way: my 500g tub lasts about 30-40 washes. It’s especially perfect for those clothes that develop a funky smell after a long hibernation in the wardrobe (looking at you, winter coats).

Evolve Oxygen Bleach with Microbes

Traditional bleach is terrifying – it haunts my nightmares. Sure, it removed stains from my clothes, but it also faded the colours of my favourite items. This meant that I could only use it on my white clothing. The problem is, I manage to stain everything – not just whites. But Evolve’s Oxygen Bleach with Microbes? Total game-changer.

It lifts stains without compromising colours, which means that you can use it for your whole closet and not just the whites. All those stained favourites that I’d demoted to ‘loungewear only’ status? Back in action.

Evolve Super Clean 

When I began my eco-friendly journey, I couldn’t tell the difference between Super Clean, Power Clean and Oxy Bleach. I did some reading under the product descriptions (which are really thorough, might I add), and here is the deal:

Oxy Bleach, which we just discussed, is your gentle powerhouse – perfect for everyday stains and general brightening. 

But when you're up against older, more stubborn stains – the ones that just won’t budge – that's when Super Clean steps in. It’s stronger, more targeted and made for those tougher messes.

And then there’s Power Clean – but we’ll get to that in just a bit.

How to use Super Clean: Spray directly on the stain, toss it into the wash and you’re good to go. For tougher spots, spray and let it sit for a bit before washing. Simple and effective.

Evolve Power Clean 

If Super Clean is your tough stain hero, Power Clean is the heavy-duty champion.

Originally designed for cleaning rims, engines and metal parts by tackling oil, grease and even tar – yes, tar – the name couldn’t be more fitting.  

Naturally, this makes it perfect for hardier fabrics like carpets, or the occasional ‘oops’ moment on clothes – as long as you test compatibility first. 

I store it in my cleaning cupboard, but I make sure to bring it out whenever the carpets suffer from winter mud, soup spills or any other unexpected messes.

Evolve Laundry Combos 

If you’re like me, you want a bit of everything – just in case. Like that one random bowl filled with spare screws, mystery wires and an old TV remote.

Luckily, Evolve understands the need to be prepared for anything. They offer big combos, small combos, refill combos, fragrance-free combos – basically, they’ve thought of every situation.

Bonus tip: There’s a discount on combos right now. Perfect excuse to stock up.

Folding it all together 

So – whether you're switching for the planet, your health or your budget – Evolve Biodegradable's laundry range makes it easy to choose better. From fragrance-free options to stain-fighting powerhouses, every product is designed with care – for your clothes and the Earth.
