Essential oils can also be used to make a wide range of cleaning products, including washing powders or liquid washing gel. Try this recipe for loose washing powder that is suitable especially for white laundry and is much more environmentally friendly and cheaper than regular washing powders from the store. Plus, with essential oils, you can create the fragrance you want.
In this recipe, it is necessary to use washing soda in the form of powder, and not crystal soda. For washing wool and silk do not include washing soda in the recipe at all.
In case you want a powder for white laundry, add citric acid that acts as a water softener. It is also possible to add dishwasher salt to the washing powder. It also acts as an additional water softener and improves the washing effect of the powder. This is especially recommended in the case of hard water. You can also replace these softeners with vinegar that will soften the laundry and prevent soap residues from sticking to the fibers.
Store the finished washing powder in a dry place in airtight container.
