Years ago, I made my own laundry detergent for my family, spending hours grating soap by hand. Now I’m back at it, but with a better, much easier recipe.
There are many benefits to making your own, including cost, simplicity, and reduced environmental impact, but the most important to me is knowing exactly what’s in it, and that every ingredient would rate green on the EWG scale. I also love that there are no plastic bottles to recycle anymore, and a single batch lasts a long time. Give it a try!
Add a few drops of essential oil (I prefer grapefruit) to each laundry load for scent.
