Laundry doesn't have to be a chore. Instead of lugging your detergent, stain stick, fabric softener, and your laundry to the washing machine, here's a homemade laundry bomb that does it all. You can pick up the basic ingredients at your local grocery store for a few dollars, making these little helpers seriously budget-friendly. Scent with your favorite essential oil for a personalized smell and you're ready to get washing.
What You'll Need:
Small mixing bowl Grater 1 1/2 cup washing soda 1/2 cup Fels-Naptha 2 tablespoons Epsom salts 3 tablespoons hydrogen peroxide 1/4 cup vinegar 15-20 drops essential oil Sheet pan Parchment paper Measuring spoonsDirections:
Grate the Fels-Naptha into the mixing bowl and add the washing soda and Epsom salts. Fels-Naptha is a laundry bar soap that does a great job of attacking stains and cleaning your laundry. The boost of all-natural washing soda softens water while washing clothes. And the Epsom salts cut down on static cling and also soften fabrics once clothes hit the dryer.
