Sustainability

Soap suds in a washing machine at Celsious

We don't just talk the talk

We also walk the walk. Sustainability has been, and always will be, an important pillar of our laundry business. We're always looking for new ways to improve our offerings while reducing our impact.

Our commitments

  • The interior at Celsious laundromat features clean white walls and warm yellow accents

    Energy-efficient equipment

    Our professional grade Electrolux equipment dispense and extract water efficiently, and dry effectively.

  • A dose of Corewash laundry powder by Celsious displayed in a glass dish

    Planet-friendly laundry powder

    We use laundry powder that's non-toxic and 100% biodegradable. It's made in the USA and comes to us in bulk via a closed-loop system with our manufacturer.

  • A basket of baby clothes, socks and a plush rabbit ready to go into a washer at Celsious

    Skin-safe ingredients

    Our laundry powder, brightening powder and stain solutions are safe for adults, children, babies and pets. No toxic or unnecessary ingredients!

  • Theresa and Corinna Williams toss reusable wool dryer balls into a dryer at Celsious

    Natural garment care solutions

    We use vegetable soap, distilled white vinegar, reusable wool dryer balls and lavender essential oil to address stains, odor, static and requests for scent.

  • Four laundry bags ready for delivery by Celsious

    Reusable and compostable bags

    We ask our customers to use reusable laundry bags so that we can avoid plastic waste. Small folded items are packed in compostable bags (as seen in this video).

  • A man wearing a navy Celsious t-shirt carries a bag of laundry over his shoulder

    Low impact laundry delivery

    We serve pickup and delivery laundry orders by foot, bike and e-bike. Car deliveries are reserved for further distances and on-demand requests (powered by Uber).

  • Corewash, Supersalt and Wunderbar, eco-friendly laundry products by Celsious, in yellow packaging

    Recyclable packaging and shipping materials

    We use recyclable packaging and shipping materials for online orders, and donate a percentage of our product line sales to ocean cleanup and research via 1% for the Planet.

  • Yellow gloved hands spray a solution onto a red cleaning rag

    Low waste in our day-to-day

    On site, we clean with alcohol, white vinegar and washable rags, avoiding single-use products like paper towels. We're also vigilant about recycling and composting.

Our philosophy

  • Our philosophy of a "cleaner clean" translates into laundry that looks and feels better than ever, achieved without the use of harmful ingredients.

  • "Our mom was an early adopter of organic lifestyle. We still remember that very distinct, grainy smell of early day health food stores and organic food markets. Our childhood home, which our parents built, was constructed with non-toxic materials (coconut fiber insulation, cork flooring, zero VOC paint etc.), so quality and sustainability are values we were literally brought up with." - Corinna & Theresa Williams, sisters and co-founders of Celsious
