Once you're done, place the pan in the oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius 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 bar of Marseille soap and grate it to form small soap petals.
Add these fragrant petals to the baking soda previously heated in the pan and mix the two ingredients thoroughly. At this stage, they aren't liquid; they're almost like powders. We recommend using latex gloves for this operation. Now let's see what to do next once you've completed this first phase of the process.
Baking soda and Marseille soap: here's how to use it
At this point, we have a baking sheet and a powder mixture of baking soda and Marseille soap leaves. What we need to do now is empty the entire mixture from the pan into a more practical container, such as a glass jar. You can help yourself by using a standard funnel.
At the end of the process, you'll know how much product you've made with this recipe. One way to make it easier to dispense the product is to place a wooden measuring cup (or other material) inside the jar. This tool is useful for collecting and, more importantly, measuring the product before placing it in the washing machine drawer. We recommend using only one in each washing machine cycle, as this is enough to make your clothes shine.
We also have a tip for you regarding fabric softener. There's also a way to save money: use vinegar instead. Vinegar has excellent softening properties and the ability to neutralize all unpleasant odors! In any case, with this recipe for baking soda and Marseille soap, you can make a completely eco-friendly laundry detergent and, most importantly, save a lot of money. It costs about two euros, and it lasts a very long time. You have to see it to believe it!
