It's been a while since I shared my little DIY projects with you... Today, I wanted to talk to you about a must / unmissable: homemade detergent, based on Marseille soap.

I therefore share with you a well-known recipe, which has proven itself. My washer only runs on that. This detergent is at least three times cheaper than that of the trade and above all, it is part of the “zero waste” movement. It works very well for colored clothes, black or white. I tested it in cold water and it's perfect.

MARSEILLE SOAP
The reputation of Marseille soap (made with 72% olive oil) is well established, it is probably the most popular of all the soaps in the world. Extra pure and biodegradable, it has been made the old-fashioned way by hand, in a cauldron, for hundreds of years. There are endless recipes on the web for natural cleansers based on this soap, as much for laundry, home, shaving, etc! Without palm oil, without animal fat, without perfume, without dye. What else do you want?

For the recipe, it is important to use a real Marseille soap, because regular soaps (with added glycerin) will not allow your laundry to remain liquid.

INGREDIENTS

.

- 30g of Marseille soap (grated or in shavings)
- 1 liter of water
- 1 C. (15g) baking soda
- 1 C. tablespoons (15g) of soda ash (soda ash) *
- A few drops of essential oil of your choice (optional)

* For those wondering, soda crystals can be found in natural health stores (like Avril) but also in several big box stores in the laundry department. It is a non-toxic product for the environment, we like that!

STEPS

1. Boil water in a saucepan.
2. Add grated soap to boiling water and stir well.
3. Once the soap has melted, turn off the heat.
4. Remove from the heat, add the baking soda and the soda crystals.
5. Leave to stand and stir occasionally to make the foam disappear and so that the mixture does not set.
6. Once the detergent is very cold, remove the excess foam and pour into a jug.
7. Add drops of essential oil (optional).

LITTLE TIP : Shake well before each use and enjoy the happiness of a homemade product, with love! Looking forward to hearing your impressions :)
