Ingredients for Making Liquid Laundry Detergent
- 20 grams Marseille soap (flakes)
- 10 grams of soda (for white laundry)
- 1 liter of water
- 20 drops of essential oil
Instructions
- Boiling water
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a saucepan. This is the base of your detergent and helps the soap dissolve better. - Adding soap
Add 20 grams of Marseille soap flakes to the boiling water. Stir well until the soap is completely dissolved. Marseille soap is a natural, plant-based soap that is gentle on the skin and cleanses effectively. - Adding soda
For the white laundry, you can add 10 grams of soda. Baking soda acts as a natural bleaching agent and helps remove stubborn stains. Make sure the soda is well dissolved in the mixture. - Cool down and add essential oil
Allow the mixture to cool completely before adding 20 drops of essential oil. Lavender oil is a great choice for a calming scent, while lemon oil provides a fresh, clean scent and provides extra cleaning power. - Preserve
Pour the cooled mixture into a reusable bottle or jar. Make sure the bottle is tightly sealed to preserve freshness. Your homemade laundry detergent is now ready to use!
When using your homemade detergent, use about 100 ml per wash. For larger or more soiled loads, you can increase the amount slightly. You’ll find that your clothes are crisp and clean without the harsh chemicals of traditional detergents.
