Laundry Blend

Modern washing detergents are a chemical concoction. Many skin-sensitive, chemical-sensitive, or scent-sensitive people can experience distress after washing in commercial laundry detergents. Unfortunately, a residue of those chemicals remain within the fibres of the material of out clothing continuing the discomfort. So instead we decided to create our own.

This blend is a plant and mineral based formula and does not contain any of the following: No added colours or fragrance; No artificial brighteners; No sodium lauryl sulfate; it is Phosphate free; No added acids; Enzyme free and with no fillers.

Ingredients:
Sodium Percarbonate – Sodium Percarbonate is an oxygen booster. Whoever thought of this is a genius. It is hydrogen peroxide encased in washing soda. When added to hot water the dense oxygen within the hydrogen peroxide is released into the water. As an ingredient in this formula it reacts with and infuses all the ingredients with an enhanced oxygen boost wash.

Washing Soda – Our Washing Soda is from a natural source in the USA. Washing Soda is a key ingredient as a water softener in some commercial washing detergents. Hard water is water with high levels of minerals. Those minerals limit the sudsing/soaping of detergents. Washing Soda both cleans and softens water, allowing the soap to clean effectively.

Bicarb Soda – Good old Bicarb Soda, also known as Sodium Bicarbonate is a wonderfully effective cleaner used for generations by generations, as an all-purpose cleaner for all sorts of cleaning projects. Very effective in the wash, our Bicarb is of Natural origin, sourced from the USA.
Borax – A natural product derived from Turkey. Borax is often understated in its application and effectiveness. It softens water, cleans and is a natural deodorant, but its other claim to fame is its effectiveness as an anti-fungal, anti-yeast, anti-mould, and its ability to neutralise fluoride in tap water.

Using a Top Loader

For best results part fill the machine with water. While it is filling add 1-2 scoops of laundry blend to a bucket and add 2 cups of very hot water. The hot water infuses the blend causing it to suds and rise. Swirl and mix in the bucket and add to the agitator or straight in the wash. Can wash on any temperature but for best results wash on warm – warm/hot cycle.

Using a Front Loader

During our trial period we asked some folk to test Laundry Blend in their front loaders. They gave it the thumbs up! If you own a front loader you would be aware some detergents and powders are not suited to front loaders since front loaders need low sudsing cleaners. Our Laundry Blend MAY not suit your front loader. Initially start with only a half scoop to assess its suitability to your machine and if ok, increase in increments until you find the amount suitable for your machine. Once you have determined the amount suited to your machine, simply fill the detergent drawer with that amount and start the wash on hot to release the oxygen and activate the blend. Once mixed into the water, switch to a lower temperature if you wish to.
