Sunlight? laundry detergent will help Free Laundry Access expand to a total of four locations across Toronto, Hamilton and Vancouver. Since its launch in 2021 by Toronto laundromat and café owner, Nancy Seto, Free Laundry Access has been providing its services from a single location in the west end of the city.

"During the pandemic, I saw many individuals and families struggling to pay for washing and drying their clothes in our laundromat," says Seto. "I asked myself, 'How can I help?' which inspired the launch of our Free Laundry Access program. Thanks to the Sunlight brand's tremendous support, not only was I able to continue providing free laundry access from my own laundromat, but they are now helping us expand our program, providing hope, dignity and happiness to those in need."

For many people, having clean clothes can provide the confidence needed to work, socialize, and participate in daily activities. "The Sunlight brand is very proud to support the Free Laundry Access program, including its efforts to provide more Canadians in need with these important free laundry services," says Margarita Bajzelj, Director of Marketing, Henkel Consumer Brands Canada. "The work of Free Laundry Access very much fits with our belief in shining a light on goodness and making a difference, one small act of kindness at a time."

The purchase of Sunlight? laundry detergent products will help support Henkel's donation of $100,000 to Free Laundry Access, which will feature monthly free laundry events at the following locations:

Toronto, Ontario:

Yummi Café Laundromat (956 St. Clair Avenue West)
Wishy Washy Laundromat (3003 Danforth Avenue)

Hamilton, Ontario:
