Homemade Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent with Essential Oils

3 cups Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda

3 cups Arm & Hammer Baking Soda

3 cups Borax

2 bars Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap Bars (unscented) You can use any brand and any scent you like. If you’d prefer not to use essential oils, a scented castile soap bar is great! Dr. Bronners has some great scents available.

30 to 50 drops Essential Oil of your choice I use 80 to 90 drops for a very large batch (5 gallon bucket full). So its really up to you how much fragrance you’d like to add (if any) to the mix.

half cup Distilled White Vinegar (optional) I add this to my wash to soften my laundry. I don’t use dryer sheets so this helps with that

2 to 3 Wool Dryer Balls (optional) I use these with a couple drops of essential oil as a fabric softener as well
