DIY Laundry Soap (Non-toxic, sustainable, affordable, easy to make!) *Essential Oils*

Reducing toxins in your laundry room - so much easier than you thought!

One of the most toxic rooms in your house is NOT the garage, the bathroom, or even the basement… It's typically the laundry room. 

Yikes…

This is from the heavily scented laundry detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets (that are also not great for your dryer either), linen sprays, and fragranced beads. 

The laundry room is littered with synthetic fragrances that can irritate your skin, trigger asthma, allergies, and eczema, contribute to indoor air pollution, and long term exposure to these fragrances can even lead to cancer for some people. 

This is a lot of damaging side effects just to have your clothes smelling “mountain fresh.”

These DIY solutions are the all natural alternative that’ll have your laundry smelling fresh, feeling clean, and you’ll even save a few dollars in the process.

The fact that there’s an argument here about laundry detergent is hilarious! 😂

Dr. Bronzer has one specifically for laundry. Castile soap is not for laundry.

Is there any way to cut down essential oils? They are too unsustainable to be used for laundry liquid 😢

Can you use regular salt instead of episoms salt?

[AdrienneS]

That’s quite a lot of essential oil for such small ingredients.

According to Dr Bronners, that’s enough soap for 2-3 loads.

Baking soda is a filler. You need to add a water softener. Washing soda, eg.
