Home made washing powder

So Sara have you done it / given it a try yet? I'm watching my OMO go down and wondering if I should also try it after by dishwashing powder success!

Hi Asta @Asta nice to see you, the thread is here for the powder we made:

Thanks! Think I'll wait until @littlesez has tried it, I have two costco size boxes of finish to get through

Soap is supposed to be castile so
ap .

Is washing soda the same as soda crystals? @littlesez?

i think so ETA yes it is same

I got all my stuff from here

I paid a bit more for eco versions of borax and citric acid

OK so I've bought soap, I actually took my nan shopping and she recommended a laundry soap she thought would work so I'm hoping I've got the right one! Will make it up tomorrow and let you know how I go!

I made the first hand dishwash soap on this page the other day because I'd run out and had soap flakes in, it's awful, thick and greasy which kind of defeats the purpose

Aww what a shame, I'm so thrilled with my first effort at my dishwasher powder, wish you had had the same good results! Let us know how you go with next efforts @Asta

I was told by little lamb that soda cystals destroy elastic :/ @littlesez

Really ? Didn't know that what is washing powder made of then I wonder .
