Instructions

Step 1

Find a suitable container for your detergent. A 2 1/2 gallon bucket would be nice.

Step 2

Add one box of laundry booster or sodium carbonate

Step 3

Add 2 cups of baking soda

Step 4

Add 1 cup epsom salt

Step 5

Add 1/2 cup sea salt

Step 6

Add 10 drops of essential oil at a time, them stir well. Do this again and again until you are satisfied with the scent. I used 75 drops of essential oil

Step 7

Use one tablespoon per load. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar if you have hard water

Step 8

The package of Molly's suds recommends 1 tablespoon per regular load of laundry, for XL or heavily soiled clothes add 1/2 tablespoon. For HE washers add 1 tablespoon directly to your washer. I usually double or triple the amount recommended because I want the clothes to smell good.
