DIY Summer Scent Natural Laundry Powder

This beautifully scented natural laundry powder concentrate recipe makes enough for around 30 average washes and can be used with hot or cold water, and in top or front loaders as it doesn’t foam.

Unlike commercial laundry powders there are no optic brighteners or enzymes in this mixture, both of which are known to cause problems for people with sensitive skin. The combination of soda ash, baking soda and Castile soap cleans perfectly well without commercial surfactants.

This recipe uses soda ash (otherwise known as sodium carbonate) which will give you a smooth soft powder. If you use washing soda instead it will be more like a powdered clay.
