Ok, so let me explain. There are quite a few DIY recipes going around the internet, and the more popular ones require grating bars of soap. First of all, that has never been appealing to me ⏤ for some reason, I’ve never really been a fan of the grater (for cheese, or for other uses). Maybe I’ve scraped my fingers once too many times! But also, I’ve heard stories of the residue that bar soap leaves behind. On your laundry, and in your washing machine. Everyone knows that residue is a resi-don’t, right?! So, to be safe, this DIY Laundry Detergent (without soap) recipe uses only the purest of ingredients, and is inspired by the one and only Ms. Molly Suds. Thank you Molly, for inspiring us to do better, and be better!

  • Also known as Sodium Bicarbonate

Washing soda

  • Is a natural detergent booster and freshener
  • Is a safe solution without any fumes or toxins

  • Making this DIY Laundry Detergent and other made-at-home products is a great way to lower your plastic usage and be more eco-friendly, since you are not only buying less products packaged in plastic, but also using more non-toxic ingredients. High five, Mother Earth!
