Not slimpod related at all but I guess I'm finding out what I'm all about these days. The new Jackie. I joined Wikaniko. (we can Eco) painting the world a very pale green.
I have a website ecofriendlymums.wikaniko.com
I am not a massive go green freak but I do think its important we consider the world around us for our kids. I'd been drawn to some of their products so thought I'd sign up. I wanted to try things like soap powder, fabric conditioner, washing up liquid. I love them all and the washing up liquid is so gentle on my skin I no longer get the flaky skin that the others used to give me.
Anyway I'm digressing but heres the recipe for homemade soap powder.
I used 2 cups of soap flakes
2 cups of borax (or a borax substitute (it will say this on the box)
2 cups of soda crystals
Mixed in bowl and popped into a Tupperware
For darks or lightly soiled just one tablespoon
for heavily soiled 2 tablespoons.
I think it works out pretty economical too.
The clothes feel clean. Its weird as there is no strong smell but they feel really lovely and freshly laundered.
I also love soap nuts.!! OMG they are fab. 3 little soap nuts tied up in a sock will do 4-5 washes. They naturally produce soap and you don't need fabric conditioner.
I am converted!! I won't be buying soap powder again.
I think I 'll use both the homemade and the soap nuts. Because I can't chose between the two as love them both hehehehehehe
