Clean Laundry with Less

Hexawash is a reusable laundry pouch filled with magnesium pellets that helps clean clothes without adding conventional liquid detergents, powders, fragrances, surfactants, or bleach to your wash.

When placed in water, the magnesium gradually reacts with the wash water and increases its alkalinity. Combined with the mechanical action of your washing machine, these conditions can assist with the removal of everyday dirt and odors from clothing.

Unlike conventional detergents, Hexawash contains no added surfactants, enzymes, fragrances, optical brighteners, phosphates, or bleach.

Many households use Hexawash to reduce their dependence on traditional laundry detergents while simplifying their laundry routine and reducing packaging waste.


Independently Tested

Hexawash has undergone independent laboratory testing at Chiang Mai University.

Soil Removal Performance

A soil removal performance test conducted by the Fabric Testing Laboratory, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University, demonstrated that Hexawash improved the cleanliness of soiled cotton test fabrics and passed the laboratory's soil removal performance evaluation.

Under the test conditions:

  • Unwashed test fabric: Whiteness Index 12.19
  • Hexawash: Whiteness Index 25.07
  • Standard detergent: Whiteness Index 31.85

These results show that Hexawash provided measurable soil removal performance while using no added detergent.

Skin Irritation Testing

A separate skin irritation study conducted by DermX, Faculty of Pharmacy, Chiang Mai University, found no evidence of skin irritation in 30 healthy adult volunteers under the test conditions used.

Hexawash was classified as Non-Irritating according to the applicable OECD testing guidelines.


What's Inside?

  • Magnesium pellets
  • GOTS Certified Organic Cotton pouch

That's it.

No added:

  • Synthetic surfactants
  • Fragrances
  • Enzymes
  • Chlorine bleach
  • Optical brighteners
  • Phosphates
  • Sulfates
  • PFAS
  • NPEs
  • Parabens
  • Phthalates

Best For

Hexawash works well for:

  • Everyday clothing
  • T-shirts
  • Shirts
  • School uniforms
  • Sportswear with light to moderate soiling
  • Bed linens
  • Towels

For heavily stained, oily, greasy, or exceptionally dirty items, pre-treatment or additional cleaning products may be required.


How To Use

  1. Place the Hexawash pouch directly into the washing machine drum.
  2. Add your laundry.
  3. Wash using your normal cycle.
  4. Remove the pouch after washing and allow it to air dry.

For heavily soiled laundry, use a longer wash cycle or pre-soak garments together with the Hexawash pouch.


Lasts Up To 300 Washes

One Hexawash pouch lasts for approximately 300 washes, helping reduce single-use packaging and ongoing laundry costs.

When performance decreases, simply replace the pouch.


A Simpler Approach to Laundry

Hexawash isn't designed to be the strongest laundry cleaner on the market.

It is designed for people looking to reduce the amount of conventional detergent they use, avoid unnecessary additives, and choose a reusable laundry solution with a lower environmental footprint.

By combining magnesium, water, and the power of your washing machine, Hexawash offers a simple way to keep everyday laundry fresh while reducing reliance on traditional detergent products.

    Still Going At 250 Loads

    Started using Hexawash in April 2025 and I am still on the same pouch in April 2026. Rough count of about 250 washes. The pouch is a little lighter in the hand than when new but still completely functional. True long haul product.

    Perfect For Wool

    Cashmere jumpers and wool skirts terrify me because detergent can ruin them. Hexawash is gentle enough that I now wash my nicest knitwear at home instead of dropping them at the cleaner. Saves me a fortune.

    Plastic Free Packaging

    Came wrapped in a paper envelope with a cotton string tie and that was the entire packaging. No shrink wrap, no plastic window, no filler. Ordered from the other side of the world and it arrived with zero waste.

    Works In Front Loaders Too

    My mum was worried it would not work in her front loader since the drum tumbles differently. One month in and it works just as well as it does in my top loader. She is now on her second pouch.

    Replaced Four Products

    Added up what I was spending on detergent plus softener plus stain remover plus booster. Hexawash replaced all four for a fraction of the annual cost. My laundry room cupboard is basically empty now in the best way.

    Runs Rinse Free Fine

    I was worried skipping the rinse would leave something behind but honestly my black shirts come out cleaner than they used to. No soap ghosts, no streaks. The magnesium really does not leave residue.

    Fragrance Free Win

    I cannot stand how most laundry aisles smell. Every box and bottle competing for who can be the most floral. Hexawash leaves clothes smelling like nothing, which is exactly how clean clothes should smell honestly.

    Low Key Addictive

    There is something genuinely satisfying about tossing this little bag in the washer instead of measuring powder or pouring liquid. Takes two seconds. Clothes come out clean. I feel like I am cheating somehow.

    Cloth Diapers Approved

    Used this on my daughter's cloth nappies every day for three months. No detergent buildup which is a real problem for absorbency on diapers. Nappies stay fluffy and clean. Best cloth diaper find of my parenting era.

    New To Zero Waste

    My first zero waste swap was a bamboo toothbrush. This is my fifth swap and honestly the biggest impact so far. The old cupboard of detergent jugs in my laundry room looked silly by comparison.

    Jordan we love reading this. Laundry is one of those invisible categories where swapping one product replaces so much packaging and chemistry. Welcome to the zero waste laundry club. SuperBee Team

    Towels Stay Fluffy

    Stopped using fabric softener years ago when I learned what it does to towel absorbency. Was still getting stiff results until I switched to Hexawash and wool dryer balls together. Towels finally soft AND absorbent.

    One Bag, Ten Months

    Christmas gift from my sister in 2024 and I am only now running low. Does absolutely everything a detergent bottle did and it fit in a tiny envelope in the post. The math is ridiculous.

    Skipped The Rinse Cycle

    Following the instructions I turned off the rinse cycle on my machine and laundry still comes out clean. Shortened each cycle by 15 minutes and noticeably less water use. Genius really.

    My Daughter Uses It Too

    Uni age daughter took one to her student housing so she could avoid communal detergent. She says her whole floor asks her what her clothes are washed with because they smell so neutral and fresh. Good conversation starter.

    Hotel Sink Saviour

    Travelled for two months and did little handwashes in hotel sinks every three days with Hexawash. Hung the pouch on the shower rail to dry. Saved me from finding a laundromat in every city.

    Rafael this is exactly what we designed Hexawash for when travelling. The pouch on the shower rail is peak nomad wisdom. Happy trails. SuperBee Team

    Works On Delicates

    Nervous the first time I threw my silk blouses in with the Hexawash but it was gentler than any detergent I have used. No pilling, no fading, no weird stiffness. I even wash my wool jumpers with it on the delicate cycle.

    Pouch Goes In The Compost

    Reached the end of my first Hexawash and the instructions say the pouch is home compostable. Popped it in the bin with the coffee grounds and it was gone within two months. A laundry product that literally turns into soil is wild.

    Cold Water Warrior

    My washing machine now does every cycle on cold and the clothes still come out clean. Saves electricity and protects the fabric. I have not touched the warm or hot dial in eight months.

Frequently asked questions

What can I use instead of laundry detergent?

The best plastic-free replacement is magnesium. Hexawash is an organic cotton pouch filled with magnesium pellets that cleans a normal load as well as regular detergent — no chemicals, no suds, no plastic jug — and lasts more than 300 washes.

We don't recommend the popular substitutes you may have seen online. Shampoo, body wash and dish soap are made to foam, and their suds can overflow your machine, leave residue in your clothes and even damage the sensors of high-efficiency washers. Baking soda can help with odors but doesn't lift dirt and oil on its own. A magnesium pouch does the whole job, wash after wash — read more about non-toxic laundry alternatives.

Can you really wash clothes without detergent?

Yes! When magnesium meets water it forms an alkaline solution of pH 10.5 — the ideal pH for washing clothes. The reaction produces negative hydroxide ions that reduce the water's surface tension, so dirt and oil break down and rinse away without any soap at all. Magnesium has been proven to be 10 times better at removing stubborn stains than regular laundry detergent.

That's exactly how Hexawash works: pop the pouch in the drum, press start, and skip the detergent aisle for the next 300+ loads.

Is Hexawash a 100% natural laundry detergent alternative?

Yes! Hexawash is an innovative approach to chemical-free laundry detergent. Each Hexawash contains an organic cotton pouch filled with magnesium pellets — and absolutely zero synthetic chemicals.

We know conventional laundry detergents contain substances that can clog waterways, irritate your skin or expose you to phosphates and potential carcinogens. Hexawash, by contrast, is a 100% natural, vegan, non-toxic and eco-friendly laundry detergent alternative that still cleans clothes as well as — if not better — than your normal detergent! Made from fully biodegradable materials, the Hexawash is also plastic-free and ideal for those seeking a zero-waste laundry detergent.

Does your family have sensitive skin? Hexawash is hypoallergenic, meaning it contains zero of the nasties that cause itchy skin and allergic reactions. If you’re looking for a laundry product that’s gentle on your skin and chemical-free, Hexawash is the ultimate solution.

How does Hexawash work?

A nifty piece of science is what makes the SuperBee Hexawash work so well. Its cotton pouch is filled with hundreds of small magnesium pellets. When mixed with water, these balls react to form hydrogen gas (H₂) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) and to generate an alkaline solution of pH 10.5 in your washing machine — the ideal pH for washing clothes.

Negative hydroxide ions are also produced during this process and act to reduce the surface tension of the water, making it easier for dirt and oil to break down and be washed away. In fact, magnesium has been proven to be 10 times better at removing stubborn stains than regular laundry detergent!

Voilà: perfectly clean clothes and an organic laundry detergent alternative that’s kind to your skin, our waterways and the planet itself.

How do I use Hexawash?

Using this miraculous little pouch couldn’t be easier; it functions exactly like your usual detergent. Just pop your Hexwash into the washing machine drum and press start!

The Hexawash can also be used with both soft and hard water at any temperature. In fact, this 100% natural laundry detergent alternative is just as effective in a cold wash as in a hot one (which is a great way to lower your CO₂ emissions and environmental impact even further!).

It’s also safe to use in all washing machines, including top-loaders and front-loaders, as well as high-efficiency (HE) washing machines (no, it won’t damage the sensors!).

While the Hexawash is an effortless way to turn your laundry chemical and plastic-free, there are a couple of tips for getting sparklingly clean and fresh laundry every time:

  • Soaking the Hexawash first can enhance the cleaning process, so use the soak function — if your machine has it — with just the Hexwash before washing your clothes. Alternatively, soaking the Hexawash in a bucket of water before putting it into your machine will do the same job.
  • For clothing that’s heavily stained or carries a strong odor, leave it to soak alongside the Hexawash before washing, too.
  • You can skip the rinse cycle on your washing machine when using the Hexawash, as no soap suds are created and there’s no residue to wash away. If your washing machine doesn’t allow you to skip the rinse cycle, don’t worry; Hexawash will still work exactly the same, you’ll just use a little more water.
  • If you’re handwashing, put the items in a bucket of water with the Hexawash for around an hour before beginning the handwashing process.
  • Hexawash is naturally odor-free and we don’t recommend using it with fabric softener — we prefer to keep our waterways chemical-free! However, if you want to use fabric softener alongside, note that the fragrance may be reduced due to the strong odor-removing powers of the magnesium pellets.
  • As a final step, if you use a clothes dryer, we recommend adding a little of your favorite essential oils to the outside of our wool dryer balls and placing them in with your load of washing. Not only will the balls reduce the drying time, but the essential oils will give your clothes a beautifully subtle fragrance.
  • Hang it up to dry with your clothes.
