What makes LE SACHET Ops clean ecological?
The sachet contains only one ingredient: magnesium (purified to 99.95%). When it comes into contact with water, it forms magnesium hydroxide. This will change the pH of the water and give it cleaning properties. Moreover, magnesium is the fifth most bioavailable element in seawater. When the wastewater from the washing machine is discharged, it doesn't require any special treatment compared to conventional detergents.

How can I be sure that my laundry is clean?
For proper use of Ops clean, make sure to run a machine cycle of at least 45 minutes to ensure the magnesium washing mechanism is fully effective. It's possible that your washing machine drum is overloaded, preventing proper agitation of the laundry and water, which is necessary for optimal washing. When switching to Ops clean, if your laundry isn't properly cleaned, you'll notice it immediately compared to synthetic fragrance detergents that might give the impression of clean laundry without actually achieving it.

Can I use Ops clean to wash my baby's clothes?
Yes! It's entirely possible. Ops clean is hypoallergenic and doesn't leave any chemicals on the laundry. So, it's perfect for baby clothes and body garments. Moreover, your laundry will be even softer, which is better for baby's skin! According to the experience of co-founder Jean-Baptiste, who's been a dad for a year 😉!

-
How many washes can I do with one sachet?
Up to 350 washes. The factors that can affect the number of washes are: - water temperature, - duration of the wash cycle, - presence or absence of rinsing. Indeed, all these factors will increase the percentage of magnesium dilution in the water.
-
Can detergents be used in addition to Ops clean?
Yes, it's possible, but it's unnecessary in 90% of cases. Indeed, liquid detergents do not provide an added advantage when using the Ops clean pouch. However, for laundry with heavy stains, as usual, you would need to use a stain remover or powdered detergent. To minimize the environmental impact of your laundry, we recommend a natural stain remover like sodium percarbonate (note that sodium percarbonate can fade colors). Alternatively, you can use powdered detergent, but you can limit the use to 1/4 of the regular dose if you combine your wash with the Ops-clean pouch effectively. The action of Ops clean will enhance the effectiveness of your detergent by increasing the pH of the water. Plus, you're reducing the use of these polluting detergents, which is a win for the planet!

What should be done with the Ops Clean sachet once it has reached the end of its use?
Once the weight of the Ops Clean sachet is reduced to 80g, you have the option to repurpose it in an eco-friendly way. Here’s how to do it: Carefully cut open the sachet to retrieve the remaining magnesium pellets. These can be dispersed in your flower pots, using about 10 to 20 pellets per pot. This practice enriches the soil with magnesium, an essential nutrient that promotes photosynthesis and thus the health of your plants. If you prefer not to use them in this way, you can also take the pellets to a recycling center. As for the sachet itself, it is designed to be fully recyclable. To ensure it is properly processed, please place it in the bins designated for textiles at recycling collection points. This step supports recycling and sustainability, in line with our commitment to the environment and responsible production.

How can you tell when the sachet has reached its maximum usage, approximately 350 washes?
When purchased, the Ops Clean sachet weighs about 140g, of which 130g is magnesium. To ensure the effectiveness of the sachet throughout its use, we recommend weighing it every six months. When the weight of the sachet drops below 80g, it means that it no longer contains enough magnesium to effectively wash a 7kg load of laundry. At this stage, it is advisable to replace your sachet with a new one to continue enjoying optimal and eco-friendly washing of your laundry.
