The elements to prepare your own homemade liquid detergent are all biodegradable and do not harm human health. Even mixed together.

So let’s take a look at each component one by one.

Baking soda is made from a mixture of chalk and a salt, sodium carbonate, to which carbon dioxide is then added to obtain the substance we know. This substance is biodegradable.

Marseille soap is largely composed of salt and water, which makes it a 100% biodegradable product. Finally, white vinegar, if it is acidic, does not harm living organisms or their environment.

Ingredients :

• 100g of Marseille’s soap
• 120 ml of white vinegar,
• 3 tablespoons of baking soda,
• 2 liters of water
• lavender essential oil, the fragrance of your choice…

Utensils and equipment: basin, pot, cheese grater, wooden spoon, funnel, clean and empty recycling bottles (capacity 3 l)
