Once done, place the pan in the oven set to 200 degrees for a full hour. This may seem strange, but it’s a fundamental step, as it allows us to make our baking soda much more alkaline. While it’s cooking, take a whole stick of Marseille soap and, using the grater, create tiny soap petals.
Add these fragrant petals to the baking soda previously heated in the pan, and carefully mix the two ingredients together. During this phase, they won’t be liquid; they’ll almost resemble powders. We recommend using a latex glove for this operation. Now let’s take a look at how to proceed once you’ve completed this first stage of the process.
Baking soda and Marseille soap, here’s how to use it
At this point, we’ll have in front of us a baking tray and a powdered mixture of baking soda and Marseille soap petals. What we need to do now is move the whole mixture from the pan to a more convenient container, like a glass jar. You can help yourself by using a standard funnel.
At the end of the operation, you’ll notice the considerable amount of product you’ve managed to create with this recipe. One way to facilitate product removal is to place a wooden measuring cup (or other material) in the jar. This tool will be useful for collecting and, above all, quantifying the product before placing it in the washing machine drawer. Our advice is to use just one for each wash in the washing machine, as this will be enough to leave your clothes shiny.
We’ve also got a tip for you when it comes to fabric softener. There’s also a way to save money: use vinegar instead. Vinegar has excellent softening properties and also the power to neutralize all bad odors! In any case, with this recipe for baking soda and Marseille soap, you’ll be able to create a totally ecological detergent, and above all, you’ll be able to save a lot of money. You’ll spend around two euros, and it’ll last you a very long time. You have to see it to believe it!
