Ingredients
Laundry soap.
125 ml (1/2 cup) baking soda.

You will need
2 tablespoons of soda crystals.

2 cups of baking soda.
20 drops of an essential oil of your choice.
½ cup coarse salt (optional).
A little water.
Instructions
Mix the baking soda, soda crystals, citric acid and coarse salt in a bowl, and using a sprayer, moisten your mixture with a little water, while stirring.
