Laundry Liquid - Make Your Own Cleaning Products
 

 

 
  Make your own laundry liquid:

   Instructions &  Method

   1 cup water
   1/4 bar soap
   12 cups hot tap water
   Bucket
   4 tablespoons washing soda
   2 tablespoons borax

   Put the cup of water in a saucepan on the stove.  Whilst you are heating it up grate the soap into
   that same saucepan.  A potato peeler is good for this job.  Stir the soap flakes until they are melted
   into the hot water. 

   Put the 12 cups of hot water into a bucket.  Tip in the hot soapy water into the bucket and stir.  Add the
   washing soda and stir again.  Lastly add the borax and, of course, stir again.

   Allow to cool.  Use as per normal.

   This will make a small amount of laundry liquid.   If you like it then next time make it in bulk.  You can
   of course add lavender oil (or other aromatic oils)  to give your washing a fresh floral smell.
