Home-made and ecological cleaning products are becoming more and more popular. Instead of buying another plastic bottle of chemical detergent, it is better to bet on the methods that our grandmothers used. It turns out that such agents are not only more environmentally friendly, but also do not cause skin or respiratory tract irritation. They are completely safe, for example for pregnant women who should not inhale toxic substances

In the following post you will find a simple recipe for homemade dishwashing liquid. Its recipe is very simple and the product is so effective that it can easily clean even very dirty dishes and plates. An unquestionable advantage of this solution is the fact that using it does not contribute to littering the environment. All the ingredients are natural and the scent is pleasant and non-irritating thanks to the addition of a few drops of essential oils. Check out how to prepare eco-friendly dishwashing liquid

Recipe for homemade dishwashing liquid according to the zero waste philosophy

Ingredients:

  • 800 g chamomile infusion,
  • 150 g coconut glucoside,
  • 150 g lauryl glucoside,
  • 30 g glycerine,
  • 5 g xanthan gum,
  • 10 drops of lavender/orange or other essential oil.

Method of preparation

First, pass the measured amount of xanthan gum through a strainer. Then mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour the whole thing into a glass bottle preferably with a pump. It is not worth making a large amount of the liquid, because it does not have preservatives that could make the agent keep its expiration date. It is best to use it within 2 weeks. It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties and will not irritate the skin on your hands
