Day 1 with Helpful Tips by Grace - DIY laundry soap



This week I am sharing our home made Laundry soap recipe. Enjoy!
What you will need:
* 1 gallon or 4 liter jug
* 1 gallon or 4 liter of hot water
* ¼ cup super washing soda (Canadian tire or amazon)
* ¼ Baking soda (pretty much anywhere)
* 6 tablespoons of Castile soap (I used Dr. Bronner’s Lavender) (Canadian tire or amazon)
* 15 drops of your favorite essential oil (I use tangerine by doterra)
* Large wooden spoon to stir
* 1 gallon or 4 liter glass container (amazon)
1) Fill jug up with 1 gallon/4 liters of warm-hot water.
2) Add in ¼ cup super washing soda, ¼ baking soda and stir with wooden spoon gently.
3) Add in your 6 tablespoons of Castile Soap, slowly stirring.
4) Add in your 15 drops of essential oil to the mixture and stir gently.
5) Pour carefully or ladle in the mixture to your glass container.
6) Use ¼ a cup per each full load of laundry.
Notes: I love my clothes to smell nice and fresh so I hold off on the essential oil until I pour my ¼ cup of mixture into the laundry soap spot. I add 2 drops of oil to the mixture and then pour it together into the washing machine.
If you find that your mixture has solid chunks after a while in the glass dish that is normal. It is just the soaps coming together because where you are storing the mixture is a bit cold. I wrap a towel around mine when storing because our laundry is in the basement and it is chilly down there lol. You can also add some hot water every once in a while, to help melt things down. I personally just scoop it and use it.
