Living and Wellbeing

There's something undeniably comforting about the scent of clothes just pulled from the washing machine, still warm and infused with the crisp, clean fragrance of detergent. It's a simple pleasure, deeply ingrained in our routines, with the assurance that the mingled scents of water and detergent have worked their magic, stripping away the traces of daily wear, leaving behind only freshness.

Unfortunately, what we can't perceive is the environmental damage we just unleashed by each machine wash: microplastics. These tiny pollutants, less than 5 millimeters in size, come from synthetic materials that then make their way into rivers and oceans, affecting marine life and climbing the food chain with increasingly harmful effects.
