Why making laundry detergent yourself instead of buying it? It's cheaper, more fun and has no chemicals
What does one need?
80 gram Marseille soap or Sunlight soap
5 liters of water
A pan and a jar
A grater
A big spoon
First you start with grating your soap. My soap block from the supermarket is about 150 gram, so I know I need about half of it.
Warm up 1 liter of water and dissolve the soap in it. NEVER EVER let it boil, the water should be warm.
So after a while of regular stirring and a lot of patience you will see the result. Add 4 liters of cold water and warm it trough.
Now you can do two things:either let it cool down completely overnight and poor it in your container the following morning, or poor it in your container when it is luke warm. That is what I did this time, and I poored in too quickly: hence the foam
Don't forget to shake gently every time you would like to use it. Usually once up and down is enough. It will be a thicker liquid.
So, the 2nd thing I was going to post: a hand made gift. For now I will post the link where I found the tutorial. A few years back, whilst living in Austria someone gave this gift to me and now I am making it for my husband.
Martina has her creative blog and she created a nice how to in German. Let me know if you would like this in English, still have some supplies left to create a tutorial.
