How to Start a Fundraiser Selling Everyday Laundry Products
Why Choose Cleaning Products for Fundraising?
When most people think about fundraising, they picture chocolate bars, candles, or discount cards. The problem is that these items aren’t always practical, and not everyone wants them. Laundry products, on the other hand, are a household essential. Every family does laundry. That makes laundry supplies one of the smartest and most profitable fundraising options available.
At Envirosuds, we offer Alondra Fundraising; a program designed to help schools, sports teams, scouts, church groups, and community organizations raise money by selling everyday laundry products. It’s simple to run, requires no upfront investment, and delivers high-quality products people actually need.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how cleaning product fundraising works, why it’s so effective, and the exact steps your group can take to run a successful campaign.
Why Laundry Products Work for Fundraising
Fundraisers succeed when the products are useful and priced fairly. Cleaning products check both boxes:
High demand: Every household uses laundry detergent.
Easy sell: Supporters don’t feel pressured to buy “extras” they don’t need.
Bulk savings: Customers save money compared to retail prices per fl oz.
Repeat potential: Once families see the value, they’ll support future fundraisers.
Unlike cookies or wrapping paper, these products don’t collect dust in a closet. They’re part of everyday life. That makes selling easier for participants and purchasing more appealing to supporters.
Who Can Benefit from Alondra Fundraising?
Our fundraising program is designed for a wide range of organizations, including:
Schools & PTAs raising money for field trips, supplies, or sports equipment.
Sports teams funding uniforms, tournaments, or travel costs.
Scout groups supporting camping trips, badges, or activities.
Churches & faith groups covering mission trips, youth programs, or building funds.
Nonprofits & community groups running outreach programs or special events.
Any group that needs extra funding and has a supportive community base can benefit from laundry product fundraising.
How the Alondra Fundraising Program Works
Running your fundraiser is straightforward. Here’s the process from start to finish:
Contact Envirosuds to Get Started
Reach out to us and we’ll provide everything you need to launch your fundraiser. You’ll receive:
i. An Excel order form for the fundraiser organizer (includes pricing and product details).
ii. A printable PDF organizer form with the same information.
iii. A PDF “take orders” form that participants can use to collect orders.Distribute Take Order Forms to Participants
Each participant receives a form to show friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Because cleaning products are practical, it’s easy to explain the fundraiser and collect orders.Collect and Consolidate Orders
At the end of the campaign, the organizer gathers all individual order forms and enters the totals into the master order form.Place the Order with Envirosuds
The organizer submits the consolidated order to us. We’ll then send a final invoice, which includes the cost of products and shipping.Delivery and Pick-Up
For the lowest shipping cost, we recommend having all products shipped to a single location. This allows your group to host a convenient pick-up event where donors can collect their products. We can provide estimated pallet shipping cost at the start of your fundraiser so you can include that in your selling price.Celebrate Your Success
Once your fundraiser wraps up, make sure to thank your participants and supporters. Sharing the results builds excitement and sets the stage for future campaigns.
Tips for a Successful Cleaning Product Fundraiser
Set a clear goal. Decide what the money will be used for and share it with participants. People are more motivated when they know exactly what they’re working toward.
Promote widely. Use email, social media, flyers, and word-of-mouth to spread the word. The more people who know about your fundraiser, the higher your sales.
Keep it simple. With laundry products, supporters can choose what laundry detergent scent they would like and what fabric softener scent they prefer. While we offer a lot of different products, keeping the fundraiser to laundry products streamlines the whole process.
Create urgency. Set a clear deadline for orders. Fundraisers with a time limit generate more excitement and keeps things organized.
Engage your participants. Encourage friendly competition among individuals or teams, with recognition for top sellers.
