When I talk about house cleaning I mean every aspect of staying clean in a house i.e. I also mean doing the laundry. In our house that means making our own laundry powder, softener and stain remover. Why? Because we are working towards eliminating as many harmful chemicals from our house as possible.

Washing the Clothes

For the past few years I have been making our clothes washing powder and have experimented with using some different sources of soap including using soap berries. I am happy with either option – the homemade powder or the berries. Why not give it a try and let us know what you think too?

Stain Removal

I experimented with stain removal the safer way and found that a good soak is the best approach. Why not read our post and try using a simple approach for yourself?

Softener

I rarely need to use fabric softener but when I do need to I just use white vinegar. Add about half a cup to the machine during the rinse cycle. It works!

Over to you…

Give the ‘safer way’ a try and tell us about your experience!
