I am a father of two amazing boys, a husband to an awesome woman, a youth baseball coach, and a business owner. I decided to start a toxin free, natural laundry soap company called Bloop with a friend of mine in order to provide a human safe and eco-friendly laundry soap that actually smells amazing. People don’t realize how many toxins are in everyday laundry detergent that are extremely harmful to ourselves and our planet. Many of the “eco-friendly” options out there still have ingredients that can damage our waterways and animals that live in them, not to mention what they do to our own bodies. At Bloop, we try our best to be as environmentally conscience as possible. Our ingredients are safe and our packaging is as eco-friendly as possible. We believe in a sustainable future and are making strides to gently nudge the laundry soap industry in this direction.
