Today I explain how to do your laundry with black soap .
Personally, I always have black soap at home. Like my grandmother!
It is a very effective multi-purpose natural cleanser.
And I use it to clean the whole house. But that's not all.
Black soap is also the perfect cleaner for making effective and economical homemade laundry.
100% natural, this detergent is quick and easy to do. And I can assure you that you will be satisfied with the result.
So here's grandmother's recipe for black soap detergent ready in 2 minutes. Watch this tutorial:
- 50 g black soap with olive oil
- 1 liter of water
- 10 drops of essential oil (optional)
1. Boil the water.
2. Put the black soap in a bowl.
3. Pour boiling water over it.
4. Mix until the black soap dissolves.
5. Pour your detergent into a glass bottle.
There you go, your black soap detergent is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
You saw, it took you less than 5 minutes to do it. And you don't even need a Thermomix to make it!
In addition, it is more economical than conventional detergent.
And above all, it is completely natural.
You also note that this recipe is without baking soda and without soda crystals.
And that's all good for your skin and that of babies and children, which is even more delicate.
No more detergent allergies!
Without forgetting that it is much less polluting than any other detergent.
Why ? Because black soap is ecological and biodegradable.
It does not pollute the environment.
In my opinion, your DIY detergent will quickly replace your industrial detergent.
You won't be able to live without it!
Nothing simpler!
Just do as usual.
Pour 20 cl of your detergent directly into the detergent drawer.
Or put it in your laundry ball. And hop in the machine with the dirty laundry!
Some stains are well embedded in the clothes?
Use black soap to remove stubborn stains before washing.
It is also a great pre-wash stain remover for dark or colored laundry.
Make this homemade stain remover in 1 min, following this recipe.
Then apply to the stain directly.
Let it act for 20 minutes and go! in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry.
And for the fabric softener, think of white vinegar! Natural, economical, effective, it makes your laundry extra soft.
Black soap is a natural multi-purpose cleaning product.
It is a cleaner and also a super effective degreaser.
It is therefore ideal for making your own laundry detergent.
It will eliminate traces of dirt and grease deep in the fiber of your clothes.
In addition, this natural product rinses very well. So there is no soap residue left in your laundry. Your laundry is soft.
But above all the risks of allergies are minimized.
Another advantage, black soap is liquid and does not solidify.
Unlike Marseille soap, especially when it is made with glycerin.
As a result, homemade black soap detergent is even easier to use. And it won't clog your washing machine by hardening.
On the other hand, for an optimal result, it is important to choose a good quality black soap, soft in paste or liquid.
Marius Fabre, La Corvette... It doesn't matter, but check that your black soap is pure and 100% natural. Beware of so-called ready-made black soap detergents which may be less pure (Briochin, Saint Marc, etc.).
Lavender essential oil (Aroma Zone or another brand) will pleasantly scent the laundry.
But depending on the oil you choose, it also has a disinfecting or purifying action.
Note that essential oils should be used with caution. Carefully read the precautions for safe use.
As the soap has a natural green/brown tint due in particular to its high concentration of natural oils that compose it (flax, olive, sunflower)...
It is best used for dark or colored laundry.
If you want to wash white clothes, use a detergent with Marseille soap, like this one.
But if you want to keep it simple and only use your black soap detergent, just add soda ash to your laundry, as explained here.
It is an effective natural stain remover and whitener. And your laundry will regain all its whiteness!
