DIY Detergent that ACTUALLY Cleans your Laundry!
This is the powder detergent recipe that I genuinely use to wash both personal and professional laundry!
2 cups washing soda, 2 cups borax, 1 cup oxi-clean, ½ cup baking soda, and ½ cup SLSA – use 1 or 2 tablespoons per load.
This helps oils/dirt/grease detach from clothes as well as softens the water to prevent buildup on laundry
One of the PRIMARY Ingredients
Deodorizes, softens water, brightens laundry, and mildly antimicrobial
Another Primary Ingredient Similar to Washing Soda
I love a good boost of stain and odor fighting power with my DIY detergent mix!
Use an Oxi-Clean of Choice for an extra BOOST
This neutralizes odors on fabrics and is a gentle addition to the recipe
Baking Soda is a Must-Have for Cleaning, period.
Let me hold your hand when I say this… A DIY detergent recipe without a surfactant is NOT CLEANING YOUR LAUNDRY, girlfriend.
Eco-Certified Surfactant (SLSA)
This is a plastic option to put your detergent mix in!
Plastic Storage Bin Idea
If you don't like plastic, here's a glass option for you DIY detergent!
Glass Storage Container Idea
Sometimes these ingredients need a little sifting when making the DIY recipe, so I use a sifter to make sure everything is well-blended :)
OPTIONAL! Sifter for Powders
Whitening Whites
These are products that I would only recommend using on white items because BOY DO THEY WHITEN!
Bye bye, Bleach!!
Keep Your Whites WHITE!
Recently I used this on some mildew stains… It was the ONLY product that got it out!
I WAS Skeptical... But it works!
Stain Fighters that do the Heavy Lifting
I have used these products on both colors and whites to get tough stains out, but be sure to do a test spot before diving in headfirst with your favorite clothes/linens!
Blood, grass, rust… you name it! I have gotten it out with this product.
I loveeee using this for tough, set-in stains!
I add this to almost every stained load of laundry I service!
Blast them Stains to Pluto!
Sometimes you need to pull out an oldie but goodie… that's fels naptha!
Grandma Wasn't Kidding!
Helpful Extras!
These picks are products that I personally use to run my laundry service that don't fit into an exact category. I hope you find them as helpful as I do!
Back to school MUST… We use this professionally and personally!
Sanitize Your Laundry!
Save money, save your laundry, and save the planet
Quit Using Those Dangggg Dryer Sheets!
I will use many other stain fighters before pulling out the bleach… but some stained whites just need a little bit of help from bleach.
Bleach is Always on my Laundry Shelf
I use this product for my own laundry as a little "treat" because it's a little fancy for my regular customer base
