I made this laundry powder to help those who do not want to DIY to still enjoy the handmade experience and the benefits that come with using more natural solutions.

The ingredients used actually clean your clothes - and are found in famous strip wash recipes. They break down dirt, get rid of smells, and help lift stains. There are no artificial fragrances, unnecessary fillers, or optical brighteners that just make things look clean without doing the job.

Because there are no bleach activators, it works best in a warm or hot wash. It’s safe for front and top loaders, septic systems, and 750 grams will last around average 25 loads.

The Ingredients

This Laundry Washing Powder is made from five powerhouse ingredients, all available individually in this DIY Ingredients collection:

  • Washing Soda
  • Sodium Percarbonate
  • Borax
  • Bicarb Soda
  • Coconut Soap Flakes

I created this mix for those who aren’t quite ready to go full DIY, but still want to experience the handmade goodness. It’s a great way to dip your toe in and see the benefits and hopefully, this helps more people see just how simple and effective green cleaning can be.

Your packaging choices

Hi, I'm Analisa the order packer. I pack everything fresh to order, and you have two options for how it arrives:

1. Apothecary Jar: It’s a wide-mouth jar made from recycled glass with a tinted amber look (not pure amber, but still charming). The lid even fits roughly a tablespoon, so it’s handy for scooping. Looks good on the bench and keeps your percarbonate airtight and ready to go.

2. Earth Bag: A compostable option made from recycled paper with a plant-based inner lining. Great for transport and low waste, but not ideal for long-term storage. Just transfer it to a sealed container when it arrives - glass is best.

Whichever you choose, just keep it dry, sealed, and out of reach from little hands.

Laundry Washing Powder

Can I use in cold water wash?

Although I recommend using a warm/hot cycle, it's not impossible to use in a cold wash and many customer report that thats how they use it, which is great!

In this case, I recommend diluting it first with hot/boiling water. This may be a bit tricky for front loaders as the mixture will bubble up when diluted with hot water and may overflow in a compartment (think bicarb and vinegar vibes)

That said, if you’re using a top loader, there’s a little workaround: fill your machine with cold water first, then dissolve the powder in a big jug with boiling water and quickly pour it in - move fast!

It’s a bit of a hack, but it can get you there when a cold wash is a must.

What temperature should I use?

For the best results, use our Laundry Washing Powder in warm to hot water. Heat acts as a natural sanitiser and activates the oxygen power within the sodium percarbonate, ensuring that your clothes not only come out clean but also free from harmful bacteria.

How much do I use?

Tailor the amount of powder based on your load size. For a small load, approx. 1-2 tablespoons (30-40g) are recommended. When dealing with larger loads, consider adding an extra tablespoon for extra oomph.

Can I add essential oils?

Hell yes! Absolutely recommended to add your favourite essential oils (as long as you’re not sensitive to them, of course).

I love using eucalyptus, tea tree, or citrus blends in the wash cycle for the extra cleaning and deodorising benefits. For the rinse cycle, I usually go for something softer like lemongrass or lavender.

There are no rules here - go nuts and make it your own!

Can I use this for handwashing delicates and wool?

Even though this is handmade, it is powerful and not recommended on wool or on delicate items. For delicates, I simply dilute a dash of liquid Castile soap in warm water and wash that way.

Should I use fabric softener?

I absolutely recommend using fabric softener - but not the toxic slimy store-bought type! Simply use citric acid or vinegar in your rinse cycle along with some essential oils if you desire.

This acidic rinse neutralises any left over soap residue that remains on clothes during the wash which causes it to be stiff. This way your clothes and towels come out soft and with the true smell of clean.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

I can never suggest what is the best thing for your body, however with minimal ingredients and fragrance-free formula its potentially going to provide some benefits. I can say that over the years, many customers have reported that it works great for their sensitivities.

Is this septic & greywater safe?

Its fine for septic tanks in terms of general cleaning, however do not use these products directly in the septic tank!

I would be wary using on greywater as these are alkali ingredients and I can't say with certainty that it wont harm your plants or greenery.
