Most conventional laundry routines rely on long ingredient lists, synthetic fragrance, fillers, optical brighteners, preservatives and single-use packaging. This handmade powder brings it back to a small number of simple, effective ingredients that each have a clear purpose.

Its versatile too! It can be used to make cleaning pastes or diluted into a soapy cleaning solution.

Ingredients

Every ingredient in this laundry wash has a specific role in cleaning your clothes. They work as a team to trap, lift and remove dirt and stains.

Made from:

  • Washing soda
  • Borax
  • Bicarb soda
  • Sodium percarbonate
  • Coconut soap flakes

How much to use

Here are the recommended usage amounts for an average 8kg machine.

FOR SMALL LOADS
Roughly 1/4 full
Only a small amount required, roughly equivalent to one teaspoon or half a tablespoon (7-10g)

FOR STANDARD LOADS
1/2 full or half empty depending how you look at it) 😜
Use approx. one tablespoon of powder (15-20g)

FOR LARGE OR REAL DIRTY LOADS
3/4 full
Increase to around two tablespoons. 30-40g

The provided amounts are estimated, and actual usage may vary based on how tightly the powder is packed in a scoop or heaped in a teaspoon and machine size. This is based on an average 8kg washing machine.

Leave enough room for clothing to move freely, and adjust the amount used for heavily soiled laundry or hard water.

Good to know

To get the best performance from this specific chemical formulation, match your wash cycle temperature to your laundry needs:

HOT (60°C and above)
Maximum Efficiency. This high temperature dissolves the coconut soap flakes and activates the sodium percarbonate and borax reaction. Use this setting for heavily stained items, whites, bedsheets, and towels to achieve maximum sanitisation and bleaching poweR.

WARM (40°C to 55°C)
Optimal for Everyday Loads. This range is warm enough to dissolve and benefit from the soap micelles and trigger a steady release of oxygen bleach. Perfect for regular coloured loads, school uniforms, and moderately dirty clothes

COLD (30°C and below)
Requires Pre-Dissolving. Pure soap flakes and sodium percarbonate struggle to dissolve and activate in cold water, which can leave a residue on dark fabrics For cold washes, dissolve your powder dose in a cup of boiling water first, then pour the liquid into your machine (only suitable for top loaders)

Important Info

Although this is a handmade powder, the ingredients are powerful and not suitable for delicate fabrics like wool, silk or lace. Please also read the care instructions on your clothing.

For delicate items or lighter jobs that doesn't require stain removal or heavy-duty cleaning, liquid Castile Soap is a great option.

⚠️ Must be stored away from children and pets

Storage for max shelf life
Moisture is the killer of powders, keep sealed in a labelled airtight container. If stored in the correct conditions, in its original powder form, this could last up to 2 years or even more. Moisture will cause clumps, which over a long time can reduce the effectiveness of the ingredients.
