Any person needs washing powder, like water and air wherever he is. You can get dirty at any moment, especially if a child is walking with you. And if you are in the country, and a few kilometers to the nearest store, then such a thing will be simply irreplaceable in the household. In order not to go with dirty stains on clothes and not attract the attention of people anywhere, we suggest making detergent do it yourself.
How is laundry detergent made in home conditions, you can see by watching our video.
To make the powder we need:
- soap (any);
- grater;
- washing soda;
- 1 cup of boric sodium salt;
- essential oil for odor;
- baking soda.
Washing soda can be made from ordinary food. To do this, ordinary baking soda must be heated to a certain temperature. In this case, a chemical reaction will form, which will turn baking soda into detergent.
Borax is sold in ordinary hardware stores and is designed to repel ants.
We take all ingredients in the same proportions, except for soap. It is necessary to pour one and a half to two glasses. Three soap on a coarse grater.
Now we need a large container in which we will mix borax, soda, soap and essential oils.
If you are going to wash in cold water, it is better to grind the powder a little on a blender.
The powder is very concentrated, you don’t need to pour a lot of it, 1 tablespoon for the whole wash is enough.
Such a powder can be used not only for hand washing, but also for automatic machines. For the machine, do not pour a lot of powder, one measured spoon is enough.
