Dr. B's for laundry?
Does anyone use Dr. Bronner's for their laundry? We've been using Purex and Tide Free & Gentle but I would like to switch to a better option. We always have Dr. B's Peppermint, Tea Tree, and Almond in the house.
Reviews?
Re: Dr. B's for laundry?
I wouldn't recommend it straight, definitely not for a HE machine/front loader.
We have used Dr.B's bar soap in homemade detergent, namely recipe #4 at http://tipnut.com/10-homemade-laundry-soap-detergent-recipes/
2 cups Fels Naptha Soap (finely grated ? you could also try the other bar soaps listed at the top)
1 cup Washing Soda
1 cup Borax
- Mix well and store in an airtight plastic container.
- Use 2 tablespoons per full load. (1tbsp for front loader)
We switched to Kirk's Castille though, much cheaper.
