In addition to being purchased at the supermarket, detergent can also be made at home, with considerable savings. Making your own laundry detergent will also allow you to respect the environment and the health<\/strong> of those we love. Very often, in fact, detergents sold in supermarkets contain surfactants or chemical substances that, in the long run, can have harmful effects on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention the dangerous effects on the environment. In addition, homemade laundry detergent is hypoallergenic and does not contain preservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has been shown that French families, for example, do an average of 5 machine washes per week<\/strong> , for a total of 220 washes in a year. During these washes, 26 liters of liquid detergent and 40 kilos of powder are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At home, you can make all the detergents, even the one for washing your clothes in the washing machine. Let’s see how to make it<\/strong> for a year’s worth of laundry, using only two ingredients and spending less than ten euros (about 0.35 cents per liter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ingredients needed to prepare the liquid laundry detergent you will need for a year’s worth of laundry are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First you need to heat a liter of water. Inside, the Marseille soap flakes should be incorporated. The chips should be mixed well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the heat is off, pour in the sodium percarbonate and then the bicarbonate. Then, you can mix everything together using a mixer. The aim is to make the mixture as homogeneous as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, the mixture should be cooled and left to sit for about a full day. At this point, the detergent should have become very compact, but this is normal. The next step is to mix everything together by adding a liter of cold water<\/strong> . Again, the goal is to make the mixture homogeneous and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need pots, those of classic liquid detergents previously rinsed and dried are fine but also simple plastic bottles. If you prefer, you can choose a glass jar. A few drops of essential oil of your choice should be added to the detergent. It will be used to perfume the laundry. Lavender and lemon are an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will get, for a small amount of money, a liquid detergent capable of whitening, disinfecting and removing stains from your laundry. <\/strong> These properties are given to it by bicarbonate, which is a natural and biodegradable product. In addition, it can also act as a fabric softener and deodorant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sodium percarbonate, on the other hand, disinfects and stains. Marseille soap, on the other hand, is a biodegradable and anti-allergic product that cleans gently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Homemade laundry detergent: advantages In addition to being purchased at the supermarket, detergent can also be made at home, with considerable savings.
