DIY Laundry Booster for Whiter Whites

No one likes grey whites and sometimes, just like us, our clothes need an extra boost to start gleaming again! Here’s a gentle, sustainable, and budget-friendly DIY laundry booster for whiter whites from WABLU – laundry detergent sheets since April 2021.

There’s more to WABLU than just laundry sheets; we’re about embracing easy sustainable, cost effective approaches to an eco friendly life. It’s not about doing everything perfectly but evolving and making small steps every now and again. Here’s a simple, do-it-yourself laundry booster that will help brighten whites, tackle those white (or not so white) school socks but also add a touch of softness to your fabrics.

The Ultimate DIY Laundry Booster Recipe

You will need:

  • 250 grams Epsom salts
  • 80 grams bicarbonate of soda or baking soda (they are the same)
  • 3 or 4 drops of essential oils

Method:

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Pop the mixture to a glass jar with air tight lid for easy storage.
  • Add a tablespoon of the mixture to each wash load. Either sprinkle it directly over clothes or add it to the detergent dispenser. Don’t forget your WABLU Laundry sheet!
  • Shelf life: approximately 1 year.

WABLU Extra Tip:

Really grey whites, or stubborn stains? Add a tablespoon of percarbonate of soda (natural bleach) to your washing for a natural stain remover, that will help whitens and deodorises your laundry. It can also be used for other uses throughout your home – it’s is great for cleaning toilets!
