Dynamo with Sard (an oxy bleach) costs $10.64 a litre. The cheapest Napisan I found was $11.70 for 2 kg, you could add a scoop to any load you needed it for. Even adding that won't alter the excellent value for money you get. You can add Napisan (or the Aldi equivalent) to your liquid or powder if you want to. I use a scoop of Napisan - an oxygen bleach - every so often and that fixes the greying problem. I think that variation is the result of having either soft or hard water. Some people notice their whites getting a little greyish after using the homemade powder or liquid for a while. AND! you'll have enough of your ingredients to make it several times. So on this one product, over the course of a year, you'll save over $80 if you make it yourself.
So 10 litres of Dynamo would cost $82.70 Making your own saves you $80.95! I would imagine that 10 litre of laundry detergent would be enough for the average family for a year.
To make a comparison, Dynamo, one of the leading laundry liquids here, costs (at Woolworths) $8.27 for a one litre refill pouch. 500 grams of borax is 2.6 cups | 1 cup borax 190 grams.1kg of washing soda is 3.9 cups | 1 cup washing soda 255 grams.700 grams of Lux is 9.3 cups | 1 cup Lux 75 grams.I weighed everything on my electronic scale to get accurate costings. If you're in another country and can't find washing soda or borax, try your supermarket, hardware store or brewing suppliers. I bought my supplies from IGA but have checked that they're also available at Woolworths.
#The laundry guy soap flakes how to
I haven't made laundry liquid for a couple of years because I usually use laundry powder - it's easier and quicker to make but I know it doesn't work in everyone's washing machine, so I'll be showing everyone how to make both the liquid and the powder, as well as bar soap. Yesterday, I started preparing for the workshop by making laundry liquid and writing some notes. Next week and the week after, I'm doing a soap making workshop at my local Centre.
