Tired of buying industrial detergent?
Me too ! It is more and more expensive...
And many of them are downright toxic to your health.
Luckily, by doing some research, I found the best homemade laundry detergent recipe.
Why the best? Because it really is super easy to make!
And what's more, it's really effective and 100% natural.
Now I do my laundry myself. And you can do it too!
Making your detergent is child's play, it is ready in a few minutes. Watch:
- 40 g of Marseille soap shavings (or 7 to 8 tablespoons, which makes 25 cl)
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 empty and clean 2 liter container
- 1 liter of hot water
- 1 kitchen scale
1. Pour 1 liter of hot water into a container.
2. Take 40 g of Marseille soap shavings.
3. Pour them into hot water and stir to dissolve.
4. Pour a tablespoon of white vinegar.
5. Add a tablespoon of baking soda.
6. Pour into the container and shake the canister vigorously so that everything mixes well.
There you go, your homemade laundry detergent is already ready :-)
Admit it was super easy and fast, right?
As you can see, making homemade liquid detergent is really very simple.
It would be a shame to deprive yourself of it!
In addition, no need to have Thermomix for this DIY laundry.
It's much more economical and the preparation only takes a few minutes of your time.
Don't you think it's a good alternative to replace your traditional detergent?
If you have skin problems (eczema, irritation, dryness…), you will love this natural detergent without harmful products.
Now all you have to do is put it in the machine. Let's see how.
Put your laundry in the washing machine.
Pour 120 to 150 ml of your homemade Marseille soap detergent into a ball.
Place the ball in the middle of the laundry, instead of your industrial detergent, as below:
Launch the program as usual.
You will see that this detergent is super effective!
- Detergent with Marseille soap shavings can solidify if you do not use it for a few days.
Just add a little hot water to make it liquefy again and shake the canister again.
To prevent your laundry from being too thick or compact, choose a Marseille soap without glycerin.
It's an effective trick to know to have a homemade detergent that does not harden. On the other hand, you can choose detergent in shavings, flakes or even grate a block of Marseille soap.
- If you want your laundry to smell good, you can add a few drops of essential oils of your choice.
I find that lavender essential oil goes well with the discreet smell of Marseille soap.
It's a simple way to have a laundry that smells good.
