I
have posted a powder recipe before which I have used myself but
sometimes with the powder it leaves a residue so I have been wanting
to switch to a liquid, I have found a very easy recipe. It does call
for essential oils. The original recipe calls for 10 drops of
grapefruit and 5 drops of thyme. I am going to use 15 drops of lemon
in mine but you can pretty much use what you want, or none at all.
This recipe will yield 3 cups, you can double triple etc but you will
have enough supplies on hand to keep making just the 3 cups when you
run out again.
Materials:
glass
jar with lid or an air tight container
1c
salt
1/2c
borax
1/2c
arm and hammer washing soda (it's down the laundry aisle, it's not
baking soda}
1c
water
essential
oils
Directions:
Combine
all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to break up clumps as best as you
can. Transfer your liquid into your jar or container. Use 2T per
load.
If
your detergent starts to clump just add a bit more water and give it
a good stir or you can simply use as is with clumps.
