Homemade Laundry Detergent
Supplies
- 3 (1-gallon) glass jars OR 3-5 gallon buckets
Ingredients
- 3 quarts hot purified OR distilled water
- Homemade Laundry Detergent Concentrate
- Bottle of citrus essential oil (lemon, orange, OR grapefruit)
Instructions
- Pour 4 cups of hot distilled water into each of the 3 jars.
- Evenly distribute the soap mixture between each jar.
- Add 40 drops of essential oils to the jars.
- Stir, then add enough cool water to fill each container.
- Let your laundry detergent thicken overnight.
- To use, stir and add ¼-½ cup of soap to your washing machine.
Notes
Remember to shake, open the bottle, and stir before each use. The detergent can stick to the bottom, and this step will help loosen any particles. The detergent can stick because it may get lumpy or gelatinized.
