Home Made Laundry Powder

I ♥ my homemade laundry powder, I find it cleans better than store bought and it's easy to make!

Supplies:

1 Bar of pure soap (I just buy the cheapest one there is 4 in a pack for about $2)
1/2 Cup of Borax
1 Cup of Washing Soda
1/2 Cup of Booster

Your handy dandy food processor (This is the one I use for food as well) with a grating attachment

I make double this quantity when I make it.

Start with your grating attachment.

 

Grab your pure soap mine is yellow!

Now grate!

This is what it will look like.

Looks like grated cheese right!

 

Then I put my chopping attachment in.

This is just siting on top of the grated soap as I push it down I turn so that it goes through the soap instead of squishing the soap.

Add the washing soda.

 

Next add borax.

In goes your laundry booster.

Mine is lemon scented smells so good!

 

Process till it's a fine powder this only takes a few seconds.

 

This is what it looks like.

 

No fancy lovely looking laundry container for me.... I really need to pretty my old 2kg yogurt bucket!

 

It's about 3/4 full.

 

I use about 1tbs per load.

(That's about 1/2 a scoop full)

 

It's really great to wash your Love My Lady Cloth !

 

 

Love My Lady Cloth

Yay it's finally Finished!

Love My Lady Cloth Has 5 Sizes!

Mini Liner, Liner, Regular, Heavy And Overnight or Postpartum

The postpartum pad is a bit special it has an optional pocket

~ Great for holding an ice pack for those 1st few days postpartum~

A pretty stack of Regulars

Here are the mini liners

If you have never used lady cloth - I strongly suggest you try it!

Many women who use lady cloth say that they experience short cycles (Yay!) and Less cramping (Double Yay!) I personally have experienced this! When I first started I eased myself into it... I used one pad once in one cycle and slowly got up to using them full time per cycle.

But how to I wash them? You ask....
What I do is I have a zipper pouch that is my bathroom and I just pop them in there and when my cycle is finished I soak them for a day in some oxy nappy stuff, then rince them in cold water pop them in the washing machine on a normal cycle and then either hang them on the clothes horse or in to the dryer they go.

What to make them out of...
I used flannel for next to skin fabric for the first ones I made and I have just discovered velour - Now that’s bliss for the Lady Parts ;)

I use one layer Zorb2 or 2 layers of Zorb or Microfiber for the absorbent layer, For Liners I use two layers of flannel.

Then to back them I either use PUL or Anti-Pill Polar Fleece.

And resin snaps for closures.
