Make your own Laundry detergent.
#lemon8contest #AskLemon8 I spend Less than $60 per year on laundry detergent. In a home of 4 people this bucket will last me the rest of the year.
The scentsy washer whiffs are COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. I buy them in the Luna scent. You can also buy sand beads at Walmart for much cheaper, but they give me a headache. And I really prefer scentsy.
I buy the unscented whitening oxi clean, it gets my whites much whiter, but doesn’t bleach my colors.
you probably don’t need to buy Biz and Oxi Clean both, but I have a toddler, if one doesn’t get the stains out the other will.
I mix all of this in a 5 gallon buck! Be sure to wear gloves! The ingredients will dry your hand out! You’ll probably notice in the photo that I have multiple scoops, the tiny one is a table spoon I use it on jeans and it’s plenty!! The large white one is 1/4 cup it’s MORE than enough! I use it on super stinky loads! And the blue one I keep as a back up scoop! I dump the powder in first then throw the clothes in! The powder will rise with the water level! #lowtox #lowtoxlaundry #lowtoxliving

Definitely not, you’re not supposed to mix borax and oxi clean.
