By creating your own DIY laundry detergent, you not only save money but also reduce your family's exposure to these harsh substances. This homemade recipe features ingredients that are non-toxic and environmentally friendly, such as Borax and washing soda. Using Borax as a laundry booster is a great way to enhance cleaning power while keeping your laundry safe. OxiClean helps tackle tough stains, while Arm & Hammer baking soda acts as a natural deodorizer. The lavender Castile soap not only adds a pleasant fragrance but is also gentle on fabrics. Adding essential oils, like lavender and lemon, can provide an extra refreshing scent without synthetic fragrances. Did you know that vinegar can also be a fantastic addition to your laundry routine? It's a natural fabric softener and can help to brighten colors. Don't worry about your clothes smelling like vinegar; the scent dissipates during the wash.

By switching to this non-toxic solution, you not only safeguard your family's health but also contribute to a healthier planet by avoiding harmful chemicals found in commercial detergents.

Finally a recipe that includes essential oils! I have used them for 15 yrs…. Young Living has oils you can even cook with! I use for everything in my house and cars…..them in my laundry, cleaning, diffusing (especially in the kitchen and bathrooms! Make sure you get good oils not the knockoff ones like at Walmart!
