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.
