I make my own salves, lotions, and creams... it shouldn't surprise you that I make my own laundry powder too!

Whether your goal is to find an effective, low-cost alternative to expensive laundry soap "jugs", you want more control over the ingredients in your home, you prefer less waste... OR you're just a DIY-er at heart... this recipe is a MUST TRY! I originally started playing with these ingredients about 10 years ago, when as a young mom, I realized it was WAY less expensive than that big orange laundry jug! BUT! It has worked so well for me over the years, I now love it for its simple ingredients, lovely clean scent, and less waste hitting my garbage can! It's OK for regular machines, HE machines, front load, top load, etc!

FAQ'S

HOW MUCH SALVE SHOULD I USE? In general, consider using a "small glop" the size of a pump or two of lotion and apply over the affected area 1-2x daily as needed.

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE? My products are best used with a year of purchase.

DO SALVES STAIN CLOTHING? Be sure to massage the salve into your skin well, then allow a few minutes for it to absorb. If your clothing stains, consider using a little bit less or allow it to absorb longer before dressing.
