Plant-Based Laundry and Cleaning Products Scented with Chamomile Lavender
Your laundry routine probably isn't something you think of as a sensory experience. But the truth is, it's one of the most frequent ways fragrance shows up in your daily life. The detergent you choose, the way your clothes smell coming out of the dryer, the scent that greets you when you open a drawer of freshly folded linens. Those small moments add up.
LAFCO's Home Care Collection was designed with that idea in mind. Every product is plant-based, biodegradable, and scented with Chamomile Lavender, one of LAFCO's most beloved fragrances. The same calming blend of chamomile, lavender, and eucalyptus that people love in LAFCO's candles and body care is now part of your
The Chamomile Lavender Fragrance
The fragrance that ties the entire collection together opens with calming chamomile and bright bergamot, the kind of scent that feels clean and fresh without any sharpness. The heart features soothing lavender and eucalyptus, which together create a sense of well-being that's hard to pin down but easy to recognize. You just feel more relaxed when it's in the air.
The base settles into warm rosemary, patchouli, and honey flower, giving the fragrance a grounding finish that keeps it from fading too quickly. It's soft enough to live on your sheets and towels without overwhelming them, but layered enough that you notice it every time you pull something from the dryer.
It's the same Chamomile Lavender found in LAFCO's , , and body care products. That means you can carry the same fragrance from the laundry room to the bedroom to the living room, creating a consistent scent experience throughout your home.
The Home Care Collection Products
Chamomile Lavender Laundry Detergent (32 oz)
This is a laundry detergent that works quietly and effectively. The highly concentrated, plant-based formula is powered by natural bio-enzymes that target stains at the source rather than masking them with chemicals. Glycerin softens fabrics and reduces static. Cellulase keeps your clothes looking newer longer by removing the tiny loose fibers that trap dirt and dull colors. And lipase breaks down grease and oil stains naturally.
Because the formula is concentrated, a little goes a long way. Half a fluid ounce is enough for a small load, and one fluid ounce handles medium to large or heavily soiled loads. It works well in cold water, which is easier on your fabrics and saves energy.
The detergent is gentle enough for sensitive skin while still delivering the kind of cleaning performance you'd expect from something much harsher. No chlorine, no bleach, no dyes, no synthetic anything. Just clean laundry that smells like chamomile and lavender.
Scented Dryer Ball Set with Laundry Fragrance Oil
If you've ever wondered whether there's a better option than dryer sheets, this is it. The set includes three reusable New Zealand wool dryer balls and a bottle of Chamomile Lavender laundry fragrance oil.
The wool balls soften your fabrics naturally as they tumble in the dryer. They also bounce between items and create space for air to circulate, which helps everything dry faster and more evenly. Static and lint go down. Softness goes up. And unlike conventional dryer sheets, there's no waxy synthetic residue building up on your clothes or towels over time.
For scent, just add 6 to 8 drops of the fragrance oil to each ball before tossing them in. Your laundry comes out soft, static-free, and beautifully scented with that same calming Chamomile Lavender. The balls are reusable and machine washable, so they last through hundreds of loads.
Chamomile Lavender Surface Cleaner (16 oz)
This is one of those products that makes a routine chore feel a little less routine. The enzyme-powered formula cuts through dirt and grease on countertops, bathroom fixtures, porcelain, tile, and sealed stone. Spray it on, let it sit for about 60 seconds, and wipe. It does the work without the harsh chemical smell you get from most surface cleaners.
Instead, your kitchen or bathroom is left lightly scented with Chamomile Lavender. It's the same plant-based, biodegradable approach as the rest of the collection. Cleaning your home shouldn't mean filling it with chemicals, and this cleaner proves that it doesn't have to.
Chamomile Lavender Laundry Fragrance Oil Refill
Once you've used up the fragrance oil that comes with the dryer ball set, the standalone refill keeps your routine going without needing to buy the full set again. It's the same essential oil-based formula: plant-based, synthetic-free, and biodegradable.
Add 6 to 8 drops per ball per cycle, and your laundry continues to carry that same calming scent load after load.
How the Enzymes Work
One of the things that sets LAFCO's detergent and surface cleaner apart is the use of natural bio-enzymes. Rather than relying on harsh chemicals to force stains out, these enzymes each target a specific type of mess. It's a more precise approach to cleaning, and it's gentler on your fabrics, your skin, and the environment.
The key enzymes include:
● Protease: handles protein-based stains like sweat, blood, grass, and dairy
● Lipase: goes after fats and oils, from cooking grease to cosmetic residue
● Cellulase: removes the tiny loose fibers that accumulate on cotton over time, trapping dirt and making clothes look dull. This is the enzyme that keeps whites brighter and colors more vibrant without any synthetic whitening agents.
These enzymes are effective at lower temperatures, which means you can wash in cold water with confidence. Cold cycles save energy, prevent shrinking and color fading, and are generally easier on your fabrics over time.
Carrying the Fragrance Beyond the Laundry Room
The home care collection is designed to work as a system. Wash with the laundry detergent. Dry with the scented dryer balls. Clean your surfaces with the surface cleaner. And tuck a Chamomile Lavender sachet into your dresser drawer to keep your linens smelling fresh between wears. The same calming fragrance carries through every step.
But the experience doesn't have to stop at the laundry room door. Pair the collection with a Chamomile Lavender candle or reed diffuser in your bedroom or living space. Light the candle while making the bed with freshly washed linens, and the scent experience becomes seamless. Your whole home starts to feel like it's been wrapped in the same calm, clean fragrance. You can also use the Discovery Trio to sample other LAFCO scents that complement your preferences and receive a $25 coupon to use on future purchases.
