LAUNDRY

1.Laundry detergent

Skin irritations caused by detergents often occur because of residue that is left on your clothes, not to mention the fact that it clogs up the washing machine pipes as well as being a pollutant for the environment. Use this inexpensive alternative instead. Vinegar and salt have strong antibacterial properties and remove stains as well as odours from the washing.

• ½ cup of white vinegar
• 2 tsp. of salt
• Mix together.

This is sufficient for a normal sized load. It may be easier if you find a 1 to 1 ½ liter bottle and premix a whole batch.

2. Fabric Softener

Place the Epsom salts in a container with a tight-fitting lid and add the essential oil. Mix well and then add the baking soda. Mix once more and seal your container.

Use 2 – 3 Tbsp. per load of wash:

2 cups of Epsom salt or coarse sea salt
½ cup of baking soda
20-30 drops of essential oil (lemon, lavender, rose or another of your choice)

3.Prevent colour running

When purchasing a new item of clothing there is always uncertainty about whether or not the colours will run. In order to ensure this does not happen, place the item into a saltwater solution. Use approximately 2 handfuls of salt to 4.5 liters of water. Allow the garment to soak for 24 hours. Rinse and dry.
