Packing for College: Slay with Sustainable Decor and Eucalan-Washed Threads
August 23, 2023
Alright, eco-warriors and rookie laundry-doers... It's time to pack up for college! The journey into higher education isn’t just about cramming for exams and late-night pizza runs – it's about gaining independence, making new friends, and embarking on a path of self-discovery. Oh and mastering the art of laundry (who knew, right?).
We are here to help you make a trendy, but eco-conscious packing list for college, as well as gear up for your entry into the laundry-verse.
Merging Trendiness with Mother Earth
Soon-to-be dorm room designers - it's time to transform that tiny space into a trendy, eco-conscious haven! Here's how we're gonna do it. 🌱✨
Green Thumb Decor: Indoor plants are a must! Not only do they purify the air, but they also add a refreshing touch of nature. Succulents and snake plants are low-maintenance options that scream chic. Plus, they're perfect roommates—quiet and oh-so-stylish.
Sustainable Bedding: Dive into sheets and duvets made from organic cotton or bamboo. They're soft, sustainable, and absolutely dreamy. And to jazz up that bed? Go for upcycled or handmade throw pillows—perhaps ones with boho designs or recycled fabric patches.
Thrifted Treasures: Scour local thrift shops or online marketplaces for pre-loved furniture and decor pieces. An old ladder can be a trendy bookshelf, and a vintage trunk might just be your new coffee table. With a touch of creativity, these finds can add character without hurting your wallet or the planet.
Eco-Storage: Ditch the plastic bins and opt for woven baskets or fabric storage cubes. They're functional, stylish, and way more sustainable. Plus, they add a touch of texture and warmth to your space.
DIY & Upcycled Pieces: Got an old mirror? Give it a fresh coat of eco-friendly paint. Turn old jeans into a wall organizer or use mason jars as pen holders. The idea is to reuse, redesign, and rock your unique style!
As you set up your college sanctuary, remember: sustainable can be sensational. Here's to a dorm that dazzles and reduces your carbon footprint, one chic choice at a time! 🌟🍃

Eco-Friendly Bonus Points: Not only is it efficient, but Eucalan's also eco-friendly. A double win! Using it can earn you brownie points with Mother Earth. And since it’s biodegradable, you’re also helping reduce environmental impact. Laundry and saving the planet? Talk about multitasking!
Natural Insect Repellent: Those dorm rooms can sometimes be...well, unpredictable. Using the Eucalan with eucalyptus can naturally repel moths and fleas. So, not only are you keeping your clothes clean, but you’re also keeping those pesky invaders at bay.
Stain-Be-Gone: Remember that tragic coffee spill during your 8 a.m. class? Eucalan's gentle yet effective formula can help lift those pesky stains, making your clothes look like they've never seen the chaotic side of college life.
