On Guard Concentrate Liquid Laundry Detergent!

Quite Fabulous!

I love making my own laundry soap as much as anyone (my sister might have something to do with this).  I like saving money, the landfill and a product that works!


I started with Jillee's Super Concentrated Liquid Laundry Detergent formula and added new twist by replacing the blue Dawn dish soap with doTERRA's On Guard Cleaner Concentrate 

You won't understand the magnitude of this discovery until you try it yourself, you won't!

For instance, here's a "before shot" if I ever saw one.  Some crazy person uses white washcloths to wash her face.  A mess of makeup, mascara and coconut oil that normally needs to soak overnite in order to get to white again.




Not so with this formula!  The washcloth was bright white after a normal wash cycle. Here's a photo of the same washcloth straight from the washer, before I put it in the dryer - no trace of a stain - tra la la!  Are you getting excited yet??



Jillee's Super Concentrate Liquid Detergent 
{with a twist}

To a 1/2 gal mason jar (64 oz) or unbreakable jar of your choice, add...

1/2 cup Borax
1/2 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Blue Dawn dishwashing soap
1/2 cup On Guard Cleaner Concentrate


Add to that...
4 cups of HOT water to dissolve the dry ingredients, stir.  Next, fill to the top slowly with COLD water.

The ingredients can settle to the bottom between laundry days, just tip your bottle back and forth a few times to mix.

Remember, this is a concentrated detergent, you'll only need 1/2 cup per large load. When washing whites, I recommend a scoop full of oxygenated bleach be added for brightening.




Product Description
On Guard Cleaner Concentrate is designed to be the ideal natural cleaner. It is fortified with
dōTERRA’s proprietary On Guard Protective Blend of wild orange, clove bud, cinnamon, 
eucalyptus, and rosemary CPTG essential oils that naturally defend against surface-dwelling 
contaminants and microbes. This powerful essential oil blend is combined with plant-based 
derivatives that provide a non-toxic and biodegradable way to clean and eliminate odors. It is
safe for your family as well as the environment. The multi-purpose capabilities of On Guard 
Cleaner Concentrate make it perfect to expertly clean hard surfaces in the kitchen, 
bathroom, or any room leaving behind a clean and invigorating scent.



Note:  Liquid laundry detergent is the perfect medium for adding essential oils.  Clothes and bedding are clean, in the purest sense thanks to wild orange, clove bud, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils from the On Guard Immune Blend!
  

Now you can make your own Stain Remover with On Guard Concentrate Liquid Laundry Soap & Blue Dawn!




Pick up a plastic condiment squirt bottle at any $1 store, they're fabulous for lots of things, including this...

Fill plastic squirt bottle with On Guard Concentrate Liquid Laundry Soap, leave enough room to add 2 T of Blue Dawn dish soap.  Tip to mix!  Easy Peasy.

This makes a super easy stain remover for whites and darks without a lot of extra ingredients!  




I forgot to mention how GREAT this smells!
