Frustrated with pricey store-bought laundry detergents that irritate your skin? Discover my easy, effective homemade washing powder recipe that I've relied on for years.
With just four natural ingredients, you can mix up a powerful detergent at home—no fancy equipment needed.
Combine baking soda, Marseille soap flakes, sodium percarbonate, and soda crystals. Here's how:
- 100 g Marseille soap shavings
- 75 g baking soda
- 50 g soda crystals
- 25 g sodium percarbonate
- Airtight glass jar
- Kitchen scale
- Optional: essential oil fragrance
1. Add all ingredients to the jar.
2. Seal the jar tightly.
3. Shake vigorously to blend thoroughly.
4. Use 3 tablespoons per load in your machine's dispenser.
5. Run your wash cycle as usual.
Your homemade washing powder is ready to use! It's quick, simple, and delivers professional results without a Thermomix or special tools.
The powder dissolves perfectly from 30°C and performs even better at 40°C. It leaves no synthetic residue or odor—add a few drops of fragrance if desired for a fresh scent.
Store in the sealed jar in a cool, dry place for long-lasting freshness.
Marseille soap flakes provide natural degreasing and cleaning power. Hypoallergenic and gentle, they're ideal for sensitive skin, baby clothes, and cloth diapers.
Baking soda and soda crystals sanitize, deep clean, and disinfect fabrics effectively.
Sodium percarbonate offers powerful whitening and stain removal, especially for whites, without harsh chemicals.
