Result

And there you go! Your homemade super powerful gel detergent is ready. :-)

Quick to prepare, budget-friendly, and far superior to chemical-laden store-bought gels that can cause allergies.

With years of testing natural cleaning recipes, I appreciate the gel's visible texture for precise dosing. It's economical enough for family-sized loads.

Usage

Shake the detergent vigorously before each use to thin it.

To help you shake well, you can put 1 or 2 large marbles or round pebbles in the bottle.

Depending on whether the laundry is very dirty or not, pour 1 to 2 glasses of detergent directly onto the laundry per 5 kg machine.

Be careful, depending on the brand, the soap shavings are more or less concentrated.

Do not hesitate to divide the quantity by 2 or 3 by checking the indications on the package.

Why does it work?

Marseille soap is a natural, effective surfactant that deeply cleans, removes stains, and restores fabric shine.

Baking soda and white vinegar complement it by sanitizing, disinfecting, and neutralizing odors for flawless results, even on heavily soiled loads.
