It comes as no surprise that powdered detergent is a mainstay in every Filipino laundry area. Unlike its liquid counterpart, it is the cheaper option and it can be used in more ways than one. However, similar to other mass-produced cleaners, most of these are made with a ton of chemicals or is extended with a ton of chalk making it less effective. If you’ve been looking for a natural substitute, we’ve got you covered. Check out this recipe for an easy, organic laundry soap:
What you need:
- 6 cups all-natural washing soda
- 3 bars of 5 oz. coconut oil-based soap
- A food processor
- A jar
How-to:
- Cut the bars of soap into large chunks then place it inside the food processor together with the washing soda.
- Keep it in the processor until you're left with white, fine powder.
- Pour into a clean and dry container or jar.
- Use as you would store-bought detergent.
