Laundry Washing Powder

Details

Welcome to the February Sunday Sydney Social Soapers Extraordinaries Meet Up of 2025! First one for the year. Hope you can make it!

We thought we'd do some thing new and different. A laundry powder to get your clothes clean. No borax. Though I have recipes with borax too if you want those. Easy to make at home. Nicer than the supermarket powders.

And a bonus! A stick cleaner to help remove those spot stains.

You can bring your own favourite scent. Or use ours. We have a wide range of scents to use. If bringing your own essential or fragrance oils you will need at least 30 grams. And it will need to be 100% pure. Some of the best laundry scents types are eucalyptus, citrus and lavender.

We have Covid safe practices in place for all Meet Ups. Masks, anti-bacterial wash and wipes.
Price per person:
$30 unscented powder or if you BYO EO's
$35 for scented powder

Important things to remember about soap making

Making soap can be quite dangerous, so you will learn about soap safety on the day.
Caustic Soda, lye, Sodium Hydroxide is the most important ingredient in making soap but are also highly corrosive - this is not avoidable. By RSVPing you acknowledge that these materials will be used on the day and near you and potentially handled by you - but as little as possible, and you accept all liability.
We take no responsibility for the use of your laundry powder in your machine.
By RSVPing you acknowledge that you accept all liability.
