Joining forces

Starting a #TurntoCold Movement

We’ve engaged some of the most iconic, influential brands and organizations in America to help spread the word about cold water washing.  And we're only just getting started. 

Logo of the NFL

In partnership with NFL, we partnered with 16 NFL teams to wash 1 million pounds of NFL laundry a year to cold, while inspiring 80 million households of NFL fans to join the cold movement during the ‘21-‘22 football season.

Hanes

We collaborated with Hanes, the leading basic apparel brand in the United States, to host a “wash in cold” call-to-action on Hanes packaging along with Tide POD® samples and coupons.
