Use 1-3 Tablespoons per load of laundry, depending on its size and soil level.

By far the best truly non-toxic, all-natural, and safe laundry detergent for daily use. It's gentle on clothes, but tough on stink and stains! And unlike other recipes that call for natural but very harsh ingredients, this one is gentle enough for even baby clothes.

Homemade Laundry Detergent (No Borax or Washing Soda!)

baking soda

sea salt

liquid Castile soap (any scent)

In a bowl or container, thoroughly combine the baking soda and sea salt.

Next, combine the baking soda and salt mixture with the Castile soap in the store jar. To make it easier to mix it all together, it’s best to layer the mixture with the liquid soap.

Place the lid firmly on the jar, and shake vigorously to combine. The final laundry powder will be clumpy, but this is not an issue.

To Use: Add 1/4-1/3 cup of laundry powder to the drum of the washing machine before adding clothes and running a cycle as usual. For an extra soiled load, add a cup of distilled white vinegar in during the rinse cycle. Do not add vinegar during the wash cycle or it will neutralize the homemade laundry detergent, making it ineffective.
