Mix them until a fine powder is formed. Add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant scent. Use 1-2 tablespoons of gel per load of laundry.

Create your own homemade laundry gel according to your needs. Choose fragrance-free soaps and avoid essential oils if you have sensitive skin or allergies. Experiment with different types of soap to find the best option for you. Castile soap or laundry soap can be great options.

Enhance the cleaning power of your homemade laundry gel by adding a cup of oxygen bleach to the recipe. Oxygen bleach is a non-chlorine product that removes tough stains and whitens clothes. Mix it with the other ingredients and follow the same steps. Check the fabric care label before using oxygen bleach.
