Homemade Washing Powder


  • Author: The road to loving my Thermo Mixer

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bar of sunlight or velvet soap, cubed
  • 1 cup of washing soda
  • 1 cup bi carb soda
  • 1/2 cup of salt
  • 1/4 cup of citric acid
  • 2030 drops of essential oil, optional

Instructions

  1. Place soap into bowl.
  2. Blitz slowly up to speed 9 until very fine. Approximately 20 secs. Scrape down.
  3. Note: You want this to be a super fine dust so that it dissolves easily in cold water. If you are a warm/hot washer it wont mater if its slightly coarser.
  4. Place everything into the bowl.
  5. Blitz on speed 6 for 30 seconds.
  6. You just want to break down the ingredients slightly and ensure they are well combined especially the essential oil.
  7. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a front loader use 2 tablespoons of powder, top loader I use 4 tablespoons. This may vary depending on how hard your water is and size of machine.
