Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap
The pure, simple ingredients in this recipe powerfully clean clothes without the addition of harmful chemicals.
If you don’t want to add your own essential oils to this recipe, liquid castile soaps (such as Dr. Bronner’s) come in a variety of scents.
Ingredients:
- 10 to 15 drops essential oils of choice
- 2-1/4 cups liquid castile soap
- 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
- 1 tablespoon glycerin
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions:
- Choose your essential oils: Pick chamomile or lavender for their soothing properties; lemon or sweet orange to help whiten laundry; eucalyptus or peppermint during cold season or when experiencing sinus trouble; or simply a scent you enjoy, such as the clean, woodsy smell of cedar.
- Combine all ingredients in a glass container with a sealed lid or a squirt bottle. Shake once or twice before adding to the wash.
- To use, add 1/4 cup per average load of 1/2 cup for extra-large or heavily soiled loads.
