Hexawash is our organic laundry detergent substitute that uses magnesium, not harsh chemicals, to clean clothes. Throw this mighty little pouch into the washing machine with dirty clothes and set to your normal wash cycle. Voilà, fresh, clean clothes and absolutely zero harsh chemicals!
Hang it up to dry with your clothes.
The very best bit is that it lasts for an incredible 300 washes. That’s what we call saving money and the planet – one load of laundry at a time.
About Hexawash, our organic laundry detergent
Our innovative and 100% non-toxic laundry detergent Hexawash is made from a GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas pouch filled with magnesium. The magnesium raises the pH of the water to 10.5 – the optimal pH for laundry which makes it easy for dirt, oil, and odors to lift off clothes and be washed away. Simply place the Hexawash in your washing machine and set your clothes to clean as usual.
What’s more, we use off-cuts from our organic cotton wax wraps to make our Hexawash pouches, and don’t use any plastic in the packaging. As a result, this is a 100% plastic-free laundry detergent that’s perfect for inclusion in our travel laundry kit.
Each Hexawash can be used approximately 300 times and even after that you can continue using it alongside a new Hexawash, or reuse it as fertilizer in your garden. All in all, it’ll keep your clothes and the planet clean.
Made from
- 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton Canva
- Magnesium solution
Hexawash does NOT contain endocrine disruptors, benzene, parabens, dioxane, phthalates, phosphate, sulfates, or surfactants. It contains no carcinogens and is NPE-free and PFAS-free.
Top tips for using the Hexawash
Put the hexawash into your machine and wash as usual. For extra dirty clothes that need a soak, included the Hexawash in your soak cycle.
You can also skip the rinse cycle on your machine if your settings allow, as there’s no detergent residue to rinse away, something that’ll save you a lot of water in the long term.
Use alongside our wool dryer balls, which soften clothes and can reduce drying time by 30%!
26 reviews for Hexawash – Organic Laundry Detergent Substitute over 300 loads
How long does Hexawash last?
Hexawash gives you great value for money. Unlike typical laundry detergents, it will last more than 300 washes — that’s at least a year for most households!You’ll know that your Hexawash has reached the end of its life by its change in weight. Before use, a Hexawash contains 120g of magnesium and weighs around 150g. As it cleans countless loads of washing, the magnesium gradually dissolves and when the pouch weighs less than 80g, it contains too little magnesium to continue to clean effectively for a normal-sized load. You could reduce your load size by 50% and continue to use it, or you could retire it to your garden.
What should I do with my Hexawash when it reaches the end of its life?
When your Hexawash weighs less than 80g, simply bury it in your garden. The organic cotton will biodegrade, while the magnesium will fertilize the soil, helping your garden to flourish.
Can I put my Hexawash in the dryer?
Most asked! Yes, you can put your Hexawash pouch in the dryer if it's rainy season and you cannot hang it in a dry, sunny place. This will not change your Hexawash's ability to clean, nor affect your dryer. We do recommend to dry the pouch in front of a fan instead of in the dryer, to minimize wear on the canvas cotton pouch for the duration of 300-365 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.

So far, great results! I was very tentative about buying this, and didn’t even share with my husband my “laundry change.” In past 3 weeks, however, I’ve used hexawash with all temps, cold to sanitize, and each load smells fresh, seems softer, and the washer also smells very clean. I am pleased.

I was sceptical about the ability of this item to handle heavier loads but it has so far been great and really cleaned my clothes, bedding and towels. It comes well presented in good recyclable packaging and is well made and easy to use. I am saving with the water and time used on my washing machine, as well as not having to shop for detergents and softeners which is not only money saving but just good economical sense. I have sent 3 more to family in South Africa who have sensitive skin allergies and they are very excited to be able to use this product.

Happy with using this so far in my normal washes, everything coming out clean and smelling nice. I trialled it once on towels and found it made them a bit too stiff (but I do usually use a wool wash for towels so will continue using that). Very happy overall, love not having to think about buying washing powder!
Patrick (verified owner) –
I think most were sceptical about the hexawash, as it is not soap. But right after the first try, I was convinced. The laundry smelt ‘fresh’ and clean. You still need to adjust your washing if you have stains (we have a little one), but that’s OK for us. Also, me and my daughter have sensitive skin and also for this it works perfectly. Other than that, you have to immediatly take out the laundry after it’s done, otherwise the ‘freshness’ will go to damp soon. But, all in all, we are happy with this product!

As a father of three boys, the washing machine is running almost constantly. We like the neutral, fresh smell. Everything got clean as usual so far.

We are very eco-friendly family. Have been using other organic/eco friendly detergent prior but now in love with hexawash. I was skeptic at the beginning but after read all the reviews I decided to give it a try. The cloths are clean and no soapy water to go to our reservoir. As it’s natural product, it’s great for people with allergy too. Beat all my expectations and highly recommend for every family. A little note, it’s a change from using normal detergent that the cloth has no smell (no bad smell either) and no soap. We double checked several times at the beginning but they are all clean.

Ich hab länger nach Magnesiumwaschmittel gesucht und bin hier fündig geworden. Erst war ich skeptisch. Doch die Wäsche kommt wirklich sauber aus der Maschine. Es hat zwar keinen besonderen Geruch, aber das kann man ja sicher anders lösen.

Love these Hexawash bags! I am always looking for simple solutions with minimal impact to our waterways! This is a brilliant solution! Clean laundry shouldn’t smell!! If I feel having an natural scent to my clothes I use my Lavender essential oil linen mist spray. This way I know I am only breathing in the best and not off gassing chemicals like commercial laundry detergents.

Wenshu Yap (verified owner) –
We are a family of four with two active boys. We do laundry almost on a daily basis with laundry powder suitable for indoor drying. We are using a top load washer. We have tried Hexawash for a week. For the first wash, it was fine, but subsequent wash we notice there is a bit of smell. We always do full load wash so we are not sure if the load is too big or if the cloths are just way too dirty. Now we always add a bit of laundry powder with Hexawash, no more smell.
Sharifah Shefah (verified owner) –
This is my second order. Its been 6 months since my first order.The clothes smell clean and fresh although theres no scent. Saves water too! the best part is the pouch can be used as fertilizer after its use.
Shop Owner –
Fantastic! Thank you so much, Sharifah, for taking the time to review the Hexawash, and we’re so glad you love it! It’s such a clever sustainable way to reduce plastic and water pollution! There is no scent because it destroys odors, and if you would like a little scent in your clean laundry (as we do, too!) you can add this as part of the drying process – a few drops of essential oils on wool dryer balls in your dryer, or in a small spray bottle as they hang up to dry. Best wishes from Team SuperBee!
