This laundry powder only requires 3 ingredients & a little elbow grease. so is a perfect quick whip up.

I use this in my front loader without issue but check with your manufacturer if you are concerned.

Finish the wash with the herbal fabric softener to aid in removing any soapy residues from clothing & the machine.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups washing soda

1 bar of castile soap – Dr Bronners is a goodie

1ml (20 drops) eucalyptus oil,

1ml (20 drops) lemon myrtle or tea tree oil

TOOLS

Bowl

Cheese grater

Large jar or container for storage

METHOD

Grate the bar soap into a large bowl.

Add washing soda & essential oils of your choice.

Store in a large repurposed jar, tin or tub.

USE

To prevent soap buildup & ensure granules are well-mixed, dissolve in hot water first. I keep an old jar in the laundry for this purpose.

Add 2 Tbsp to the jar, fill with warm water, shake until dissolved & tip into powder dispenser.

NOTES

Use DIY fabric softener towards the end of the load.
