Laundry Bombs

Laundry doesn’t have to be a chore. Instead of lugging your detergent, stain stick, fabric softener, and your laundry to the washing machine, here’s a homemade laundry bomb that does it all. You can pick up the basic ingredients at your local grocery store for a few dollars, making these little helpers seriously budget-friendly. Scent with your favorite essential oil for a personalized smell and you’re ready to get washing.

Laundry Stain Remover

I researched an all-natural way to get stains out and through testing found this simple essential oil stain remover works great! As with most spot removers, it definitely works best if you’re able to treat the spot immediately when you notice the stain.

If you’re not able to that’s ok but it can help produce even better results.
