So, after my Environmental Health class, I decided Charlie and I needed natural laundry detergent.
Well. Natural laundry detergent from Whole Foods (the cheapest one) DOES NOT SMELL GOOD.
In fact, after I wash our clothes and sniff them (using a naturally scented "fabric softener" too!) our clothes smell closer to neutral mold than clean clothes.
HOW DO I FIX THIS? I can't bring myself to throw it out.
I've tried adding some drops of essential oils (both rosemary and peppermint) to the wash and dry cycles.
NOTHING.
heeeeeelp meeeeeeee

ReplyDeleteBaking soda?
ReplyDeleteI recently made some of my own with this deliciously yummy smelling bar of Dr. Bronner's soap - the citrus scent. I found a recipe online but I think it's literally just that bar of soap mixed with borax and arm and hammer washing soda. I absolutely LOVE the smell of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI made my own for a long time using Fels Naptha, why oh why didn't I think to use Dr. Bronners? I now use Ecos from Sams. Lovely lavender scent and uber concentrated so it lasts forever.
