Mondays around here are laundry day...we plow through at least 8 loads- kids clothes, our clothes, bedding, towels. You know the drill. We prefer to get it all done on one day. What about you? Are you "a once a week" laundry family? Or "a load or two a day" kind of family?
Either way, laundry isn't my favorite chore. And it used to be even less so. Many members of my family are sensitive to detergents. For some it's because of the chemical fragrances. For some it's because of the toxic ingredients. For others it's both. Have you checked the toxicity of your detergent? If not, click HERE to find out how (it's easy and really informative!).
So this means that we had to come up with a new plan. Because plain water doesn't wash well and throwing clothes out every time we wear them isn't environmentally or fiscally responsible.
After some playing and tweaking, we've found an amazing detergent that works really well AND is completely natural. No fake scents (what exactly is 'ocean breeze' made of?) or nasty toxins so we're all happy! And it's very reasonably priced too! Take a look HERE.
Or, if you'd rather make this detergent, the recipe and step by step directions are on our YouTube channel. Click below to watch!
