lemon fresh linen wash*
especially nice for sun-dried cotton linens
This formula can be used for any type of laundry, but it’s
especially nice for cotton linens that have been allowed to dry
naturally in the sun after washing. The aloe vera juice and
vinegar soften, while citric acid and grapefruit extract
brighten and sanitize.
2 cups liquid castile soap
½ cup aloe vera juice
½ cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon powdered citric acid
2 teaspoons grapefruit seed extract
15-20 drops lemon essential oil (or lemongrass essential oil)
Combine all ingredients into a plastic container, preferably one
with a pour spout. Give this formula a gentle shake, or just
turn it upside down once or twice to make sure all of the
ingredients are evenly distributed before adding it to the
washing machine. For an average load, use ¼ cup.
