At the moment i am getting bulk 5ltrs of ecover washing up liquid and storing it. I have had a good think about it and i am going to start making my own. This will save on the packaging and on my carbon footprint as the heavier the item the more fuel it will take to transport it.

I am a great lover of Anthea Turners Perfect Housewife and this recipe was on one of her programs.

Anthea Turner’s (perfect housewife) recipe for washing-up liquid:

2 ltrs boiling water
2/3 drops tea tree oil
8 gm soap flakes
8 gm of soda crystals
tsp vinegar

Mix and put in soap dispenser

My tea tree oil, soda crystals and vinegar are bulk bought from summer naturals. Organic soap fakes are from so organic.
