Hey everyone!

 

 

   Let’s talk laundry. Riveting subject I know. Like it or not it takes up much of our life when we have kids living at home. If you are concerned about toxins in your home, one of the most impactful things you can do is switch your laundry detergent. Think about it. We spend 8 or more hours a day laying on the sheets on our bed and in our Pjs. We wash those sheets and cloths in toxic laundry detergent. It is on our skin which is soaking up all those toxins. This is the thought that had me wanting to change my laundry detergent almost immediately. Once I joined young living I checked out the laundry detergent. It looked pricy. I tried a few different plant based detergents that still broke out my kids skin. They were plant based but had fragrance in them. 

INSERT LAUNDRY HACK

I stumbled across this laundry hack on nesting well and now I can justify the expense of buying the thieves laundry soap. I use one bottle of laundry soap and it almost doubles the amount of loads. I think somewhat in part because it takes so little soap it’s easy to put too much in there. Plus you get to add oils to change the smell whenever you like. 

                               Laundry Hack

          1- bottle Thieves laundry soap

          3-32 0z reusable bottles or one large container

          essential oils- Lavender, Purification and Lemon work well

          Thieves cleaner

          Divide the Laundry soap evenly between the 3 containers. I save about 2-3inches from the bottom for a stain stick or to make a sample to give away. Add 3 cap fulls of the thieves cleaner to each bottle. If you know you have some tough stains or really dirty work cloths you could add another capful of this. How much essential oils you add depends on how strong of a scent you like. I like 20-30 drops of oil per bottle. This puts out plenty of scent for me. Plus I put a few drops of purification on my wool dryer balls so that adds smell to it as well. 

 

 

                           Stain stick

        30ml roller bottle 

        Thieves Laundry soap

        Thieves cleaner

        Combine 1 cap full of Thieves cleaner, 5 ml thieves laundry soap or dish soap, 5 drops thieves and 5 drops lemon essential oil. Fill the rest with water. Roll right on the stain and rub. Rise the soap out and wash.

 

I hope you are having a fantastic day! please let me know if you have any questions about oils or anything!

Best of luck in this oh so lovely life!
