Homemade Laundry Powder

Laundry Powder

Ingredients:

2 c. washing soda*
2 c. baking soda
2/3 c. Epsom salts, fine
3 T. table salt

*If you don’t have access to washing soda, bake 2 cups of baking soda for 2 hours at 400F.

Directions:

Blend all ingredients and keep in an air-tight container.

Use 1 tablespoon for a medium load, 2 for a large or greasier load.

Yield: 60 medium loads

Note: Don’t put essential oils in this as the baking soda as a deodorizing agent will weaken any scent.

You can throw in a few aspirin for whites to help keep them from greying or yellowing, when laundering with light colours.
