Dr. Bronner's SSLI32 Biodegradable Cleaner, 946ml Volume

Product Information

Laundry Soap– I still make my own most of the timebut will buy BioKlean liquid laundry soapor Ecover zero if I’m pressed for time or traveling. The other part of the story about why I don’t exclusively use DIY cleaners anymore is because of time. I have (almost) six kids and a dog, and a house, homeschooling, and a blog, and even a couple of friends. I wouldn’t trade any of those things for the world, but to keep all of them happy and healthy requires time. Please note that any product containing water needs a preservative to inhibit the growth of mould and bacteria. I use Optiphen Plus, a natural paraben-free preservative, in the easy homemade cleaning recipes. Conclusion

But in other recipes, a substitution may lead to very different results. Can I use Sal Suds as soap or in personal care products?

It is meant to clean objects – like clothes, the kitchen, bathrooms, cars, etc. Cost Comparison Between the Two Recipes Hydrophilic literally means “water ( hydro) loving ( philic).” This end of the surfactant molecule grabs hold of water. On the other side, hydrophobic means “water ( hydro) fearing ( phobic).” A little exaggerated perhaps, but this end grabs the oil. By the way, this post isn’t sponsored. Some readers wanted to know more about Sal Suds. So I decided to write a post explaining what Sal suds is, and how to use it to formulate homemade natural cleaners.

Artificial Fragrances– contain phthalates and formaldehyde and cause endocrine disruption and irritate the respiratory system Phosphates help balance the detergents' pH and chelate minerals found in hard water like lime and magnesium. They make laundry detergents more effective, BUT they are very harmful to humans and wildlife. Exposure to phosphates in humans is linked to cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and even death!
