Natural Laundry Potions from Sweden

November 14, 2013

Aloe vera, peach oil, coconut, orange, soy beans. No, this is not my grocery list, but a sampling of the ingredients used in the cleaning products from Sweden’s Tangent Garment Care products, an ecologically sound set of washes and shoe polishes and waxes to keep your wardrobe well maintained.

In creating Tangent cofounder David Samuelsson was inspired by his grandfather, a chimney sweep who was “meticulous when it came to his wardrobe and dressed with a certain degree of elegance.” An antidote to the throw-away culture of modern dressing, Tangent is about honoring the production of clothing by buying fewer things, wearing the same things over and over, and preserving them–all ideas we can get behind.

We’re fans of natural cleaning products–and not all of them require international shipping (or buying any packaged cleaning products at all). See our Cleaning Products posts, including Move Over, Mrs Meyer and Shine Bright Like a Diamond, Window Cleaning Edition.
