DIY Non-Toxic Laundry Soap

Have you been wanting to try a DIY Non-Toxic Laundry Soap, but nervous it won’t work? I was the same way! I have tried tons of other recipes online and I feel like this is really the best DIY Non-Toxic Laundry Soap recipe for the price! It comes out to be less than $4 a gallon.

You *can* get natural laundry soaps online or at the store, but lots of times the ingredients still hold tons of yuck you are trying to avoid. The ingredient “fragrance” is a perfect example of this. It is basically a cover-up for up to three thousand ingredients disrupting your endocrine system, immune system, and reproductive systems! Removing anything with fragrance in the ingredients list from your household items is a great rule of thumb for anyone trying to make healthier lifestyle choices!

Also, download the Think Dirty app to check your household item’s toxicity levels! Simply scan the barcode or search for the item. My favorite part is it tells you WHY and how the bad chemicals are affecting your body.

The Recipe

1/4 Washing Soda
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Thieves® Laundry Soap– Find out how to save 24% on Thieves products here
1/4 cup Thieves® Household Cleaner– Find out how to save 24% on Thieves products here
Hot Water
8 Drops Essential Oil of Your Choosing (Optional)- I used Thieves® and Lemon– 4 drops of each
Drink Dispenser (at least 1 gallon)- I used this one from amazon.

Directions

Combine hot water, washing soda and baking soda. I like to do this on the stove rather than mixing in the dispenser.
Once fully dissolved, let cool. If you don’t, you run the risk of cracking the glass. Then, add to the dispenser.
Add your Thieves laundry soap, Thieves household cleaner, any oils if you choose and lukewarm water!
Give it a gentle stir and that is it! I like to add about a 1/4 per medium load.

Lastly, this will be fine for normal-wear clothes. Ian is a horse farrier, so his clothes tend to be on the dirtier side. With that being said, I do add in a 1/2 C of Thieves laundry soap rather than the 1/4 C, so unless you feel it is necessary, this recipe should do the job how it’s labeled above!
