Cleaning and laundry products that we use daily to wash clothes are full of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and to our health. Besides being harmful, liquid detergents are also usually quite expensive. Fortunately there is a cheap and natural alternative: a homemade coconut and lemon detergent that you can easily and quickly make in the comfort of your home. And you don’t have to worry. It will be as effective as any product you would buy in a store.
Completely natural formula
This natural recipe from simple and easy-to-find ingredients will make your clothes smell great for a long time and be perfectly clean at a very low cost. To make it you will need 150 grams of coconut soap, 2 liters of water, 70 g of sodium bicarbonate, 20 drops of eucalyptus oil and 20 drops of lavender oil.
Preparation of the natural detergent
First grate the coconut soap. Choose a brand of natural, handmade soap. The shavings must be very thin so they dissolve well. Heat the water and slowly add the baking soda. Stir well. Slowly add the soap shavings to the mixture and stir for about 5 minutes.
Next add the eucalyptus and lavender oil and stir again. These oils will give your detergent a very pleasant scent. Let it stand like this for 12 to 24 hours. Pour the mixture into a plastic container and mix well. That’s all. Now you have an eco-friendly, liquid detergent ready at a fraction of the price you would pay in the store.
Huge advantages
This unique and fragrant detergent is very economical, but also environmentally friendly and cleans clothes just as well as an industrial detergent. Liquid detergents are very popular because they are much easier to dose, usually have a lovely scent and clean clothes effectively.
