Introduction:
Laundry can quickly become one of the most expensive chores in a household. The cost of detergents, fabric softeners, and other laundry products adds up over time. But what if you could cut those costs dramatically with just two simple, inexpensive ingredients? In this guide, we’ll show you how to make your own eco-friendly and budget-friendly laundry solution that will last you a full year, all for less than 10 euros.
Ingredients:
Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) - 500 grams
White Vinegar - 1 liter
These two ingredients are not only affordable but also commonly found in most households, making them an easy choice for creating an effective laundry solution.
Instructions:
Prepare the washing soda: Start by placing a 500-gram bag of baking soda into a large mixing container. This will help soften the water and break down dirt and grease, making your laundry cleaner.
Mix with vinegar: For a basic laundry detergent, add 1 cup of white vinegar to the container with baking soda. Stir the mixture well until you get a consistent texture.
How to use: For each load of laundry, simply add 1/2 cup of this mixture to the washing machine along with your clothes. If you prefer liquid detergent, dissolve the mixture in water (around 2-3 liters) to make a concentrated solution.
Optional fabric softener: You can also add an additional 1/4 cup of vinegar into the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine to soften clothes naturally, reduce static, and eliminate any lingering smells.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Storage: Store your homemade laundry powder or solution in an airtight container to keep it fresh. Ensure it is kept in a dry place away from moisture.
Shelf Life: This solution can last up to a year when stored properly, making it an excellent and cost-effective choice.
Using it efficiently: A little goes a long way! You only need a small amount of the mixture for each wash, so it’ll last for many loads.
