I usually do one load every two weeks of woolens, silks and delicate cottons that I wash with a lanolin woolwash containing Eucalyptus and Lavender.
Everything else, I dump in some baking soda and vinegar and about 15 drops each of Ravensara and Bitter Orange essential oils. Both of these EO's are inexpensive, and the Ravensara freshens my whole house with a licorice-like scent and the resulting clean clothes smell GREAT.
I've THOUGHT about mixing up my own detergent for years but have never gotten around to it.
i just came on here to post the same thing! this maybe a stupid question but where can you buy EO? do you have to buy a lot of it or just a same bottle?
Wow love the ideas of no more laundry detergent. I will have to try it!
