Making your own laundry detergent/booster is incredibly easy and a great way to save money!
We recently brought in some Soda Ash, otherwise known as Washing Soda, and have had some people asking about it, so thought we’d share this super simple recipe. Everything can be found in our little store, so no need to make multiple stops, looking for that one special ingredient.👌
All you need is:
1 cup epsom salt
3 cups baking soda
3 cups washing soda
1/2 cup sea salt
40-50 drops of essential oils (optional)
Just mix all those together in your favourite container and pop 1-2 tablespoons in per load of laundry. Easy peasy. Because there is no surfactant in this recipe, it works great for those who wear their clothes gently and only need a gentle wash, or as an extra boost when added to your regular laundry soap. 💪
For those curious about the financial end of things, this 7.5 cup batch cost $10.33. That will wash to 60-120 loads, depending on how much you use... which equals only 9-18 cents per load! 🤯
We especially love that this is customizable. If you don’t like scent, skip the essential oils. Maybe you want to change up the scent of your detergent now and then. No problem! And, since all of these items are in bulk at our store, you can either cut the recipe down to make a small batch and ensure you like it before committing to a big one, or bulk it up and make a big bucket full! 😁
