Tallow + Ash Laundry Shampoo: The Boujie Way to Wash Toddler-Smeared Bedding (Not an ad. Just a tired mum with high standards and a nose for a good scent.)

Alright, listen. I’ve washed more bodily fluids out of bedding than I care to admit. My laundry pile has seen it all: mashed banana, mystery footprints, glitter glue, and what I hope was chocolate. So when I saw that Tallow + Ash had just launched their fancy laundry shampoo and conditioner in Tesco (yes, Tesco!) I grabbed a bottle faster than my toddler grabs the remote when I blink.

Prices?

• Laundry Shampoo: £7

• Laundry Conditioner: £7

• Both: A bit boujie, yes, but let’s get into the why it’s worth it (sometimes).

Scents I Tried:

• Aurora

• Date Night

And holy moly, they smell incredible. Not like “this’ll-do” clean. We’re talking boutique hotel vibes. Think “I’ve got my life together” even when your pants say otherwise.

The best part? You control the intensity. A little product = gentle waft. A generous pour = full-blown scent explosion. Pick your poison.

But does it actually clean?

I went full test mode on my white bedding. Which is bold considering I co-sleep with:

• A 1-year-old (milk guzzler and nappy rebel)

• A 3-year-old (jumps in with sticky hands nightly)

• A 4.5-year-old golden retriever (permanently damp)

• And no husband. He’s been exiled to our son’s room midweek for everyone’s sanity.

The result?

Quick wash. 40 degrees. White bedding came out gleaming. I don’t know what kind of witchcraft they’ve bottled, but it works.

Would I use it on the kids’ muddy joggers or my well-loved Primark knickers?

Nope. Not unless I win the lottery or lose my mind. It’s a luxury, not a staple. But for the good throws, posh towels, cushions guests might see, or your “I’m leaving the house” outfits—it’s totally worth it.

Bonus content:

I just ordered 10 scent samples from their website like the addict I am. They’ve also got fabric sprays, so naturally I’ll be misting my entire home into a sensory wonderland while screaming at someone to put their shoes on.

In summary:

Tallow + Ash is the kind of laundry product that makes you feel smug while folding. Beautiful scents, genuinely effective, and a lovely little indulgence when you’re otherwise knee-deep in chaos. 10/10 would sniff again.

This post is in no way affiliated with Tallow + Ash, and I highly doubt they even know I exist—but if they’re reading this: hi, yes, I’m available for free samples.
