Easy, fast and natural, isn't it?

No more expensive chemical detergents from the supermarket!

This grandmother's recipe does not cost a dime and contains only 2 ingredients.

And with this natural detergent, not a stain can resist: tomato, ink or fruit, everything is gone.

To flavor your laundry, add a few drops of peppermint essential oils to the jar.

Use of ivy laundry

To use this DIY laundry, nothing could be simpler!

Put about 150 ml of the liquid in the usual compartment of your machine and start a cycle as usual.

Know that this zero waste detergent is effective even at 30 ° C.

Laundry is a dark green color, but don't worry, it won't stain the laundry!

Conservation

Ivy detergent is best kept in the fridge 3 to 4 weeks. You can even freeze it!

This allows you to make a large quantity and always have it on hand without going back to the stove.

Why does it work?

Climbing ivy naturally contains a good dose of saponin.

It is a washing and foaming substance produced by certain plants.

By crumpling the leaves, the saponin is released and diffuses into the water.

Ivy has a washing, degreasing and stain removal action.

Our ancestors already used ivy to degrease and detach their fabrics.

As for the bicarbonate, it reinforces its action and removes stubborn odors on the laundry.

My opinion on ivy laundry

Me, I am super happy with the result on each machine!

I admit that I couldn't believe it when my grandmother gave me her recipe ...

But yet it washes very well on clothes at 30 ° as well as underwear at 60 °.

The only small problem are the yellow stains of perspiration that have a hard time leaving with this ivy detergent.

So the best is to do a percabonate bath before washing as indicated here in n ° 5.

Last point, the laundry comes out without any smell!

If you don't like laundry that doesn't smell like anything, just add a few drops of essential oils of your choice to scent it.

It's still better than an artificial chemical scent of classic laundry detergents, right?
