When it’s time to roll up our sleeves, we never hold back, especially when it comes to cleaning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the solution comes directly from our grandmothers<\/em> , the classic soft laundry soap<\/strong> (usually found under the Alga <\/strong> or Alba<\/strong> brand ). Grandma’s classic yellow soap ! <\/strong>It is not only an ecological <\/strong> remedy but also very economical<\/strong><\/em> and we can clean the whole house with it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s see it together in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Potassium soft soap<\/strong> looks like a yellow stick<\/strong> , with a semi-soft consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It actually has very few ingredients, first of all coconut oil<\/strong> , which is not only excellent for its cosmetic properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has a strong cleaning and degreasing power<\/strong> , thanks to the presence of potassium salts<\/strong> . Compared to Marseille soap<\/strong> , which is also used for personal hygiene, yellow soap<\/strong> is generally indicated for cleaning floors and surfaces <\/strong> (although some producers, such as those of Alga Soap<\/strong> , have also created products for personal hygiene<\/strong> ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, especially when it is of good quality, it has a totally ecological <\/strong> approach and is biodegradable<\/strong> . The presence of coconut oil<\/strong> allows us to dissolve it easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This detail is very important, since we can also create a liquid version<\/strong> without worrying that it might solidify, as happens with the Marseille one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will notice on the directions of these soaps that they can be used for both hand and machine washing<\/strong> . Thanks to its degreasing power<\/strong> , we can also use it to pre-treat more stubborn stains <\/strong> . For convenience, it is divided into cubes or <\/strong>balls<\/strong> are formed , as you will notice in this Video<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n If washing the laundry in the washing machine<\/strong> , we can cut one or two pieces of the dough<\/strong> and insert them directly into the washing machine drum<\/strong> . Much depends on the load and hardness of the water, so adjust according to the manufacturer’s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also numerous recipes for making a DIY liquid detergent <\/strong> with “grandma’s yellow soap<\/em><\/strong> “.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh I forgot!

Then turn off and cover the pan<\/strong> .

When ready, transfer the liquid detergent into a recycled bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n and if you want, you can add a few drops of essential oil of your choice<\/strong> , such as lavender<\/strong> or citrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To use algae soap liquid detergent <\/strong> in the washing machine<\/strong> , fill a measuring cup by adding a teaspoon of <\/strong>bicarbonate<\/strong> of soda and one of washing soda<\/strong> , to promote the whitening and stain-removing action of the detergent<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can insert everything directly into the washing machine tray.

You will notice that it will not be completely full. In this case we add more water. Finally we insert 18 drops of <\/strong> tea tree oil for an antibacterial action<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The composition and delicacy <\/strong> of this detergent allow us to clean many surfaces without risking ruining them, such as bathroom ceramics<\/strong> , floors, wooden doors and to remove stains from shutters<\/strong> !<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it doesn’t end here! Like Marseille soap<\/strong> , potassium soft soap<\/strong> can also be a very valid insecticide<\/strong> against various plant parasites<\/strong> , such as aphids<\/strong> , cochineal <\/strong> or spider mites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process is very simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply dissolve 12\/15 grams of soap<\/strong> for each liter of water<\/strong> .
