DIY Detergent Starter Kit

The DIY (Do It Yourself) Laundry Starter Kit from the Fer à Cheval soap factory is perfect for starting to create your own products using natural, healthy ingredients.

Do It Yourself is all about the pleasure of doing things yourself, but it's also about saving money! This kit is designed to enable you to make 50 natural and effective detergents.

But you can also use each of its 3 ingredients separately:

• Marseille soap shavings can be used to make household products such as cleaners and creams.
• Baking soda is a multi-purpose cleaner that can be used on its own to clean, degrease, stain and deodorize...
• Soda crystals will be your multi-application cleaner for home maintenance: laundry, dishes, pipes, building work, wall cleaning...

3 natural, effective, multi-purpose products to replace your whole armada of cleaning products that take up a lot of space in your cupboards and sometimes have dubious compositions. Take the plunge with the DIY Laundry Starter Kit, and you'll never go back.

PS: depending on individual sensitivities, we advise you that washing with Marseille Vegetable Soap shavings will give you a neutral laundry scent. If you use Olive Marseille soap shavings, your laundry will have a slight Olive scent. The choice is yours.

MEMORY AID: 20 grams of shavings = 1L of detergent = 10 washes

 

Do It Yourself is the ideal solution for using natural, healthy and economical products to care for your home, your laundry and the whole family. Doing your laundry at home with Marseille soap shavings gives you effective, economical and, above all, planet-friendly detergents.

Don't worry: the recipe is as easy as it is quick!
