Make your own cleaning products

Cleaning agents, plastic bottles and chemical mixtures can be found in the drugstore, so we thought we'd just make our own cleaning products. On Pinterest we quickly found out how to mix detergents and co. ourselves. But you need a few articles that are not so easy to get in the shops, so we wrote the dear start-up "Cleanbox", which sent us one directly. Today we would like to make washing powder and dishwasher powder with you. You can either order the products directly from the cleaners or buy them separately. Maybe even one or the other of you has some of it at home.

DIY WASHING POWDER

INGREDIENTS (for 1 liter Washing powder/ 8 laundry):
1/2 curd soap, approx. 35 g
(we bought Aleppo soap because it consists of pure olive oil and is ideal for sensitive skin) 
800 ml water
240 g soda
20 drops of essential oil (we used lavender)

ZUBEREITUNG/ANWENDUNG:
Mix the ingredients and place in a suitable container (we used an old milk glass bottle). You will need about 100 ml of detergent per wash.

DIY DISHWASHER POWDER

INGREDIENTS (for 610 gr powder):
350 gr soda
260 gr citric acid granules

PREPARATION/APPLICATION:
Mix both ingredients well together and use a small ladle for a rinse.
