Benefits of Homemade Washing Powder:

  • Economical: Making your own washing powder at home can be more cost-effective than purchasing commercial laundry detergents, especially if you buy the ingredients in bulk.
  • Customisable: You can tailor the fragrance of your homemade washing powder by choosing different types of natural soap and essential oils.
  • Environmentally friendly: Homemade washing powder typically contains fewer chemicals and synthetic fragrances than commercial detergents, making it a more eco-friendly choice for laundry care.
  • Effective cleaning: The combination of baking soda, and grated soap effectively removes dirt, stains, and odours from clothing, leaving them clean and fresh.
  • Suitable for sensitive skin: Homemade washing powder made with natural soap and optional essential oils is gentle on the skin and suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies to commercial laundry detergents.
