My recipe is cup of hot water, one big spoon (or more) of any grated soap into it, half spoon of washing soda later - it will make kinda goo. That's it. Rinse in a bit of white vinegar, the smell should all leave during drying.

But if you have oily stains, rub dry hard soap into them first. Or smear this goo onto them and let sit for a while.
Thanks, this is nice and simple 😃
Maybe it's not that good🫡 I tried epsom salts and noticed soon the fabrics suffer. You have to try it yourself. Also this mix is nowhere as miraculous as typical detergents, it has no enzyms and some heavy dirt has to be pre-treated. I lately dropped it for usual detergents, because with my anxieties and shit I seriously don't have space to extra care for kids clothing. But it works well enough and cost is really low🤷🏻♀️
I only have my own clothes to wash for now, and my clothes stay relatively clean all things considered. With enough tries I'll get something that works for me 😁💪
Something I've noticed with all of the DIY cleaning recipes that I find is that they're all different the same way all family curry recipes are different in India. In that case, best thing to do is use the one that's passed down to you and tweak it along the way. Then pass it down again.
Yes😄 It took me like a year to boil down all the info from Pinterest on shampoo, antiperspirant, detergents and hygiene overall. There's a lot of misinformation just for likes.
Also you can pre-soak whites in "pure oxygen" powder, that's great acid. And the soap/soda and oxygen presoak or rinse after smell exactly like how my grandma washed her laundry. I first smelled it and knew this recipe is right for me😊
