D.I.Y. Laundry Detergent Powder- Chemical Free




Breathing in the fresh, clean scent of just-washed linens can make doing laundry feel like less of a chore. Unless you’re breathing in the petroleum-derived ingredients, phthalates, tricolsan and synthetic fragrances found in most conventional laundry detergents. Then, you’re lucky if you don’t have a coughing fit, or an asthma attack. Or worse. The toxic chemicals in laundry detergents may make your bed sheets smell like they’ve been dried in a crisp mountain breeze, but that fragrance couldn’t be farther from anything resembling natural. From skin irritants to carcinogens to hormone disruptors, the chemicals in conventional laundry detergents are downright dangerous.


Have you ever noticed that distinct over-powering smell when you walk by the laundry detergent aisle? That’s actually a bunch of toxic chemicals off-gasing into the air. And, you can bet they’re polluting the air in your home every time you dump that conventional detergent into a load. Why expose yourself and your family to those nasty chemicals? You can easily make your own laundry detergent at home. It’s cheaper and you’ll know exactly what goes into it. No unknown fragrances or confusing chemicals (1,4-dioxane??) to worry about. Go ahead. Give your laundry routine an eco-makeover with these do-it-yourself laundry detergent recipes.
Before You Get Started- When it comes to making your own laundry detergent, you can choose powder or liquid. Powder tends to be a bit easier to use, as homemade liquid detergents like to gel. Plus, you don’t have to use the stove to make them.

Powder Laundry Detergent Yield: 72 loads
4 cups baking soda
3 cups washing soda
3 bars of soap( Dr. Bronner’s bar soaps work well)
6-8 drops lavender or your favorite essential oil
Directions
1. Grate the castile soap into a bowl using a kitchen grater. This will take a little elbow grease.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir the mixture together.




Place the powder in an airtight container, like a mason jar. That’s it!
Scoop up about two tablespoons per load of laundry.

D.I.Y. Toothpaste and The Benefits.

Image
The origin of toothpaste can be dated back to 300/500 BC, according to a history website. It first came into existence as a dental cream as it was claimed it could cure certain types of pin in the mouth. In the attempts there was use of abrasives such as crushed egg, oyster shells as well as crushed bones. There were used to clean teeth and the first advancement to be noted was use of tooth powders. This took place in China and India as the history of tooth paste is traced back there. At some point some genius decided to “improve” toothpaste by adding poisonous chemicals like: Formaldehyde That same ingredient that coroners can’t live without can be found inside of your toothpaste tube. Formaldehyde kills all of those small bacteria that climb onto your teeth after eating or sleeping. If a large amount of formaldehyde is accidentally ingested, the result could be fatal.
