How to Make Laundry Detergent (Liquid or Powder Recipe)

 Homemade laundry detergent is one of the easiest parts of a transition to natural living. This natural laundry soap recipe is a great way to save money and is incredibly easy to make. It almost makes tackling that pile of dirty laundry feel like less of a chore!

Have an HE machine? Check out this HE article that addresses high efficiency washers and borax safety. The recipe is the same as the one below, but be sure to check with your washer manual before using a new laundry soap if you have any concerns.

Why Switch to Natural Laundry Soap?

Commercial detergent is loaded with chemicals like sulfates, fragrances, dyes and more. Many brands contain things like petroleum distillates, which are linked to cancer and lung disease. Fragrances in these detergents are made with a mix of harmful chemicals. (This is also why I make my own linen spray.)

Luckily, making your own laundry soap is an easy and fast process! You only need three basic ingredients to make either a powdered or liquid laundry soap. These ingredients are available at most stores, including Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc.

DIY Laundry Soap Ingredients

• Washing Soda
• Borax
• Bar Soap (Dr. Bronner’s, Ivory, or homemade laundry soap)

You can usually find a box of borax and some washing soda at your local grocery store in the laundry aisle. Sometimes I like to add a few tablespoons of baking soda to help freshen clothes. Natural bar soaps are in the health, beauty, or organic sections of the store, or online.

Natural Laundry Soap Recipe

Easily make your own homemade laundry soap with the cleaning power of natural ingredients! This powdered laundry detergent is safe for sensitive skin and free of harsh chemicals. Yield: 2.5 cups Author: Katie Wells

• Food processor (or cheese grater)

• 1 bar soap (such as Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Bar Soap or homemade coconut oil soap)
• 1 cup washing soda
• 1 cup borax

• Grate the bar of soap or pulse it in a food processor until finely ground.
• In a large bowl, mix together the grated soap, washing soda, and borax.
• Store in a sealed container like a glass jar
• To use: add 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup of soap per load of laundry.

See below for instructions on making a liquid version of this laundry soap.

Wonder What’s in These Ingredients?

Borax is a naturally occurring mineral made of sodium, boron, oxygen, and water. It’s in most of the natural soaps available now but it’s much less expensive to make your own homemade laundry detergent. Some people have concerns about borax but here’s why I feel comfortable using it, especially in my laundry room.

Washing Soda or super washing soda (sodium carbonate) is made from common salt and limestone or found as natural deposits. It’s not the same as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), but you can make washing soda from baking soda. Here are some other great household uses for washing soda.

Dr. Bronner’s soaps are fair trade and made with vegetable castile soap and pure organic essential oils. Some DIY laundry recipes call for a bar of Fels Naptha soap or Zote but I’m not a fan of the ingredients. After years of using Dr. Bronners, I switched to this homemade laundry soap in my DIY recipe.

These tallow based soap flakes designed for DIY laundry detergent also work well.

How to Make Liquid Laundry Soap

1. Grate one bar of soap with a cheese grater or food processor.
2. Put the grated soap in a pan with 2 quarts of hot water and gradually heat. Stir constantly until the soap is completely dissolved.
3. Put 4.5 gallons of really hot water in a 5-gallon bucket. These are often available for free in bakeries at grocery stores, just ask them. Stir in 2 cups of borax and 2 cups of washing soda until completely dissolved.
4. Pour the soap mixture into the 5-gallon bucket and stir well.
5. Cover and leave overnight.
6. Shake or stir until smooth and pour into gallon jars or other containers.
7. Use 1/2 to 1 cup per load of laundry.

Not only is it easy, but you can save money too!

A Note About Soap vs. Detergent

As mentioned above, there’s a chemical difference between soap and detergent. Conventional laundry detergents are formulated to work specifically with washing machines. They can work even in cold water or with hard water.

Many soaps are designed for the skin and aren’t as strong. Some sources suggest that over time, natural soaps can leave buildup in washers.

I’ve found that while this recipe works well for me, it isn’t suitable for all water types and washer types. If you’ve used natural laundry soap and experienced clothes getting dingy, this may be the reason. Newer HE washer top load machines and especially the front load washers are notorious for not getting clothes as clean as old-school versions. They can also be more temperamental when it comes to which laundry soap they like.

I’ve found one natural detergent that works brilliantly and can be used alone or in combination with homemade laundry soaps like this one. I often add 2-3 Tablespoons of Dr. Bronners Sal Suds per load as a natural detergent. Sal Suds gets out odors and is still a natural product (though technically a detergent/surfactant and not a soap). It even works as a natural stain remover.

Don’t Want to Make it?

I used to always make my own detergent but now I’ll usually buy a natural brand since there are some really healthy options. Here are some of my favorites:

• Truly Free– Just a warning… after you try this laundry soap, you may never want to go back to DIY. This is the best smelling non-toxic laundry detergent I’ve tried and it works well on tough stains and dirt. Similar to my favorite all-purpose cleaner, a huge bonus is their eco-friendly approach. The detergent comes concentrated in a small refill packet which you add to warm water in the provided bottle. Super smart!
• 2 tablespoons Sal Suds + 1/4 cup baking soda or washing soda (highly effective and super simple!) You can also use Sal Suds to make homemade dish soap.
• Emma Eco Me Detergent – Also rated well by the EWG and comes in yummy scents.
• Planet Natural Detergent – Relatively eco-friendly and cost-effective.

The most frugal option is to make your own, but these natural alternatives are a good choice if you aren’t able to make it (or don’t want to).

Other Natural DIY Laundry Products and Tips

Instead of toxic fabric softeners, try using vinegar! Simply pour a cup of white vinegar in during the rinse cycle or in the washer dispenser.

Some people report good results with adding Epsom salt to their washing machine during the wash cycle. It can help soften hard water and reduce soap buildup for cleaner clothes. Here are some more DIY laundry recipes to add to your laundry cabinet.

Bieler’s Vegetable Broth Detox Soup

 Several times a year, when the kids grow or the seasons change (as they inevitably do), I climb into the dark abyss of our attic to find the next sizes of clothes for their capsule wardrobes. Two hours later they all have neatly organized, new (hand-me-down) wardrobes and I’m sneezing like crazy.

Those days remind me of my one remaining allergy — dust. And it’s a doozy!

I can power through childbirth no problem (I’ve had enough practice). I can also push through a 20-mile hike, but dust reduces me to a sneezing pile of grumpiness.

Bieler’s Vegetable Broth to the Rescue

I’ve gotten better about using an air filter when cleaning or switching out clothes in the attic. I also take some allergy remedies and they help a lot. But when the dust or hay fever gets bad, I pull out my go-to recipe for Bieler’s vegetable broth (and sneak in a few extra allergy soothing ingredients).

What is Bieler’s Vegetable Broth?

I first heard about this vegetable broth in the book Nourishing Traditions. Bieler’s broth was invented by a doctor named Henry Beiler as a detox soup to help promote healing and cleansing in the body. Dr. Bieler claimed that this detox soup recipe would help restore the correct acid/alkaline balance in the body. He speculated it also helped balance the body’s sodium/potassium levels.

Benefits of Bieler’s Detox Vegetable Soup

I love the taste of this vegetable-based broth, though it certainly isn’t as flavorful as my favorite garlic soup. The vegetable broth’s benefits are in its nourishing qualities and not its taste. It’s a healthy soup used in many cleanses and detox protocols. Cancer patients often use it for an easy source of nourishment that’s easy on the stomach. I use it to calm down my allergies (see my tip for an add-in below).

I also turn to this delicious soup during illness. The high vitamin C and K content make it great for supporting the immune system. It’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with veggies and fresh herbs.

This Broth Traditionally Contains

• Zucchini – A natural source of potassium and sodium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6
• String beans – Also a good source of sodium and potassium, as well as chromium, phosphorus, and choline
• Celery – Excellent source of vitamin K, potassium, folate, and pantothenic acid (B vitamins)
• Parsley – A multivitamin in a single plant! Parsley is a great source of vitamin K, vitamin C, antioxidants, and beneficial volatile oils. It’s said to be cleansing and nourishing to the body.

And I Often Add …

The true “Bieler’s Broth” recipe contains only the ingredients above and it’s wonderful just like that. When allergies hit, I add a few extra ingredients to help calm them down. These are all optional but add flavor and nutrients.

• Nettle Leaf – I love stinging nettle and it’s one of my natural allergy remedies. When possible, I add a few leaves of wild harvested nettle to this broth. It grows in our yard, so it’s easy to find during the warmer months. I also harvest and freeze some for winter. Raw nettle can “sting” your hands when touched, so be careful harvesting!
• Dandelion Leaf – Known as a liver cleansing herb, I like to add dandelion to this broth as well. Dandelion greens seem to help my allergies and are great for the skin. I harvest these from our yard too and freeze some in ice cube trays for winter.
• Garlic cloves – Adds great flavor, but also benefits the body in many ways.

How to Make Bieler’s Vegetable Broth

This broth is quick and easy to make. Gather the ingredients above and you can make it in under half an hour. Whether it’s the new year and you’ve resolved to start with a cleanse or just need to detox, Bieler’s broth is a great option. Here’s how to make it:

• For a more nourishing and filling soup, use bone broth or vegetable broth instead of water. Feel free to add any desired spices, though for illness and allergies, I find the bland and basic soup seems most calming.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container and gently reheat on the stovetop.

Broth Additions and Substitutions

I already mentioned I’ll add fresh dandelion, garlic, and nettle to the broth but you can add other ingredients too. Saute some yellow onion and bell peppers in olive oil to add more flavor. Season it with a little sea salt, black pepper, or fresh lemon juice. Or try some fresh cilantro to help the body detox heavy metals.

For a heartier soup, try chicken broth or a few cups of vegetable broth instead of water. And if you like the flavor of the broth but want something higher in protein for a meal, it’s easy to add diced chicken breast to the soup.

If my allergies are acting up or the kids need something soothing during illness, then I find the original recipe works best for us. The base soup is delicious as is or tweak it to your preferences!

DIY Dry Shampoo for Dark or Light Hair

 Dry shampoo has become increasingly popular over the years and I can see why. A hair care product that makes your look clean when it hasn’t been washed in a while is a huge help! During long days with little ones we’re lucky to use the bathroom alone, much less shower every day…

If you use a product (almost) every day, it’s important for it to a) work and b) have safe ingredients! But look at the label on most store bought dry shampoos and you’ll find ingredients like isobutane, aluminum, and propane… no thanks!

It’s easy to make natural dry shampoo from scratch with just a few simple ingredients you might already have on hand. You’ll not only save money since homemade dry shampoo versions are about 95% cheaper, but you also won’t be putting toxic chemicals on your hair!

How to Make Your Own Dry Shampoo at Home

The basic idea of a dry shampoo powder (or wet “dry” shampoo, see that variation below) is to put an oil-absorbing substance like baby powder, baking soda, arrowroot, or cornstarch on oily hair. This absorbs excess oil, leaving it clean, and helps fine hair look volumized.

Until the cancer lawsuits started rolling in, baby powder used to be made from talcum powder (full of asbestos). Now baby powder is typically made from GMO cornstarch. Neither of these are great options in my book.

Since I have blonde hair I just use arrowroot powder and a few drops of essential oils. If you have light hair just using these two natural ingredients work wonders. Those with darker hair, like brown hair or dark brown hair can mix in some cocoa powder for a darker tint. You can even use cocoa powder in homemade eye shadow.

Those with really dark, black hair may want to try adding in some activated charcoal to darken the mix. The exact amount you use depends on your hair color.

Bonus: Dry shampoo is also very helpful if you’ll be styling hair and need it to hold. Dirty hair holds better than clean hair, but it doesn’t have to look dirty! In fact, for an upcoming wedding, I’ll be sporting natural hair that hasn’t been washed in three days (you’re welcome for that visual!)

Essential Oils for More Hair Benefits

Essential oils add more than just a yummy scent! They have potent health benefits too. To help with hair growth, add some rosemary and cedarwood essential oil. For dandruff try tea tree and peppermint.

DIY Dry Shampoo

Make non-toxic dry shampoo in minutes to absorb natural oils and reduce hair washing time. Great for blondes, brunettes, or even darker hair! Yield: 2 ounces Author: Katie Wells

• Makeup brush
• 4-ounce glass jar

• 2 – 4 TBSP arrowroot powder (or organic non-GMO cornstarch)
• 2 TBSP cocoa powder (optional, for dark hair)
• 5 drops essential oils (optional – I use lavender)

• Place the arrowroot, or arrowroot and cocoa powder, into a small jar. Use 4 TBSP of arrowroot for light hair, and only 2 TBSP for dark hair.
• Add the essential oil and mix to combine.
• Apply with a make-up brush to the roots or oily parts of your hair. The brush is optional, but it removes the need to comb through as much and is better for styled hair. If you don’t use the brush, comb the powder through your hair and style as usual.

To make a spray that works as a dry shampoo, add 1 cup of warm, distilled water and ¼ cup of vodka, rubbing alcohol, or witch hazel to the above recipe. Spray on roots or oily parts of hair, let dry, and style as usual. Shake before each use.

Prefer a spray version? Add some water and alcohol to the above recipe as an alternative to aerosol dry shampoos. Here’s how:

Wet “Dry” Shampoo Option

A wet-dry shampoo uses the same concept but puts the oil-absorbing substance in a quickly evaporating liquid like vodka or rubbing alcohol.

• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup arrowroot or cornstarch
• 1/4 cup vodka, rubbing alcohol, or witch hazel
• Essential oils

What to do: Mix all ingredients in a small spray bottle and shake well. Shake before each use and spray on roots or oily parts of hair. Let dry and style as usual.

Bonus Tips

• You can use arrowroot or cornstarch as a finishing powder for homemade makeup or as an oil-absorbing powder on the skin. I keep a mason jar filled with arrowroot on my counter and use it as a dry shampoo on my hair and to set my makeup.
• If you have dark hair but don’t want to use cocoa powder, just use plain arrowroot and apply before bed the night before or at least 2 hours in advance. With some time to absorb you won’t get the fake-gray-looks-like-a-wig look!

Why Saliva is So Important

 I’m sure by now you’ve heard me talk about the importance of remineralizing teeth. But what you may not know is how important saliva is to this process. First though, what really is saliva and what does it do?

The smell of your favorite food, accidentally biting your tongue, and eating are a few things that trigger saliva production. Saliva is more than just that wet stuff in our mouths though. While it’s mostly water, saliva is full of important minerals and proteins (or at least it should be)!

Doctors can use saliva tests to test candida levels, cortisol levels from stress, and other health markers. One of saliva’s most important functions is keeping the mouth healthy and enamel strong.

How Saliva Benefits Oral Health

Whichever theory is correct, saliva is important. The frequent stimulation of saliva, especially after eating sugar helps dilute and buffer plaque acid. This brings extra mineral ions into the plaque fluid and promotes remineralization.

In short: Saliva is the way teeth remineralize! On a practical level, when saliva washes over teeth they’re remineralized. Without proper nutrient levels, saliva won’t have the minerals teeth need for optimal strength. We need sufficient nutrition to have the necessary minerals in the saliva to support remineralization.

The importance of enough saliva to prevent tooth decay is well established. There are multiple theories about the origin of tooth decay:

1. Decay occurs due to acids from bacteria in the mouth digesting sugars; or
2. Tooth decay occurs when there’s an imbalance between the demineralization of the enamel surface and remineralization produced by the return of mineral ions into enamel.

Saliva does so much more than keep our mouths moist. It helps normalize pH levels, fight off harmful bacteria with its antimicrobial properties, and cleanse the gums. Understanding and supporting saliva’s role can naturally lead to better oral health. Prioritizing things like hydration, stress management, and a healthy diet are all important for healthy saliva.

Saliva Fights Bad Bacteria

Research shows a clear link between less saliva production as we age and the increased risk of gum disease. Saliva contains a whole host of vital substances for our immune system.

For example, lactoferrin is one compound naturally found in saliva. Lactoferrin is part of our innate immune system and one of our key front lines of defense. This compound binds iron in the mouth depriving the gum-damaging bacteria of the iron they need to flourish.

Saliva is also a rich source of necessary enzymes. Of the salivary enzymes involved in maintaining the mouth’s ecology, one of the first to be recognized was lysozyme. The lysozyme enzyme seems to work by destabilizing bacteria’s cell walls, which causes tooth decay and gum disease.

Saliva Reestablishes Healthy Mouth pH

The mouth has a complex ecology that must be kept in balance for optimal oral health. This includes the bacterial environment, having enough minerals, and maintaining proper pH. While the best way to have a healthy mouth pH is to support the immune system with a nutrient-dense diet, proper sleep, and reduced stress, saliva also plays a key role.

Factors That Affect How Much Saliva We Have

Saliva is key in the remineralization process, which can actually reverse early tooth decay. Like with many natural processes though, it’s not immune to disruption. Factors like allergies, mouth breathing, certain foods, and even stress can affect how much saliva we make and its quality.

Certain medications and lifestyle factors can have a negative impact on how well the salivary glands work.

Hormones are another piece of the puzzle. If the thyroid isn’t functioning as it should this can lead to a more acidic mouth pH, increasing cavity risk. On the other side, when estrogen goes up, so can cavities and gum issues. We have estrogen receptors in our mouth, gums, and salivary glands. During menopause when estrogen levels dip, women can get dry mouth from decreased saliva production.

Stress is another factor that plays a role in reducing saliva flow. When we’re stressed blood flow to the digestive system and the teeth and salivary glands goes down.

How to Increase Saliva Production

The principle “Use it or Lose it” applies to saliva production. It’s important to exercise our ability to produce saliva or deal with a dry mouth and all the ails that come with it.

While we naturally make more saliva when eating, saliva is busy helping jump-start digestion while we eat. So it can help to boost saliva flow with other methods. Here’s one way to do that called “swashing.” It may sound gross at first, but it really does help!

Swashing

Step 1: Gather any saliva in your mouth into a pool on your tongue. Now use your throat muscles to draw the saliva back and forth from the back of the tongue to just behind the front teeth then back again several times. Thirty to fifty times is ideal. The more you practice the more saliva your glands make.

Step 2: Once you have a large saliva pool on your tongue wash it over your teeth and gums We call swishing with saliva “swashing” because it’s like you’re swishing and washing at the same time. Swash with the increased saliva for a minute or two then swallow it down and let the saliva support better digestion in the stomach!

Switch to a Natural Toothpaste

Using natural toothpaste can also help boost saliva production. I’ve noticed more saliva with this remineralizing toothpaste, and also with the OraWellness Brushing Blend. A good toothpaste helps provide enamel with the minerals it needs and promotes a healthier mouth.

Oil Pulling and Herbal Remedies

If you can’t quite bring yourself to “swash” yet, oil pulling is another great way to increase saliva. Swishing oil around in the mouth also reduces plaque and may help with the mouth microbiome. I use coconut oil, but sesame oil is another traditional choice. 

Another weird way to increase saliva is with herbal sialagogues. That’s a fancy term that simply means to increase saliva. Herbs like spilanthes trigger salivary glands to release more fluid, which can be helpful for those with chronic dry mouth. Spilanthes tincture or tea helps boost saliva production and is generally considered safe. A word of warning though: start small as it can work very well!

Final Thoughts on Saliva

While spit isn’t my favorite thing to think about it certainly plays an important role in our mouth and overall health. Factors like hormones and stress can reduce saliva, but with some focused effort, it’s possible to encourage healthy saliva flow.

Teeth are connected to overall health through something called the Tooth Organ Meridian System?

 It’s a fascinating concept in holistic dentistry that links specific teeth to organs and systems in your body. For example, issues with your upper molars might affect your sinuses, or a problem with your lower incisors could impact your kidneys!

Understanding these connections can help us pinpoint underlying health concerns that go beyond just dental care. Your oral health is a reflection of your body’s well-being.
