Laundry-list

Lately I have been making "laundry-lists" rather than shopping-lists. Every time I make a run for errands, I bring my camera with me and document the packaging for every laundry detergent I can find.

I have come across some brands that we see in the United States, but also some container shapes that I haven't seen before. An interesting fact about doing laundry in Europe compared to the US is that Europe has many more setting options for washing clothes. You can choose from 4-5 different temperatures, and several types of wash cycles as well. You also have about 6 different dyer settings. Europeans think very highly in regards to saving energy and going green.


Of course, the packing is in Dutch, but I am not so bad at reading labels any more!

Robijn detergent in liquid form as opposed to powder

Generic brand detergent - quite simple

Again, generic, but this time for colors. The color choices are rather odd for the generic brands considering what the detergents are used for.

All sorts of different packaging. This is the type I have in my dorm. A lid on the top is used to measure the detergent. I got it for free but I hate the mess it makes!

This one looks familiar...

Another familiar face!

Crystals: an interesting concept. Kind of reminds me of dishwasher detergent.
