Essential Oil Laundry Detergent Recipe for Hard or Soft Water
I use essential oils for everything from diffusing oils into the air when someone has a cold to adding essential oils to cleaning supplies. My favorite essential oil laundry detergent recipe is so easy to make and saves my family a bundle on the cost of detergent!
This essential oil laundry detergent recipe is so simple and costs much less than traditional laundry detergent. The recipe makes about 12 cups of detergent and should clean about 48 loads of laundry.
The essential oils you add are completely up to you. I like to switch between lemon, a lavender/cedarwood mix, or use the Majestic Breeze blend from Rocky Mountain Oils which has a piney scent.
Mix the powdered ingredients together. Grate the soap into small flakes using a cheese grater. If you leave the soap out to dry for a few days before mixing the detergent, the soap is a lot easier to grate.
