Resources required:
Washing soda, lemons, white vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, borax substitute, liquid castile soap, lemon peel, essential oils e.g. either rosemary, lavender, tea tree or a combination.
Please note - Washing soda, bicarbonate of soda and borax substitute can be purchased from some supermarkets, Wilkinsons, Boyes under the Dri-pak brand or home brand. Another supplier is online at https://www.biggreensmile.com/
I have found that the cheapest brand of castile soap is ‘Origins’
I have found the cheapest brand of essential oils is ‘Freshskin’
Please note: Only use pure essential oils and don’t use perfume oils.
