LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANING
ALTERNATIVES

Avoid buying clothes that need dry cleaning. To remove perspiration and body odor from clothes, spray the affected area first with Nature's Fresh, and then launder in Sunshine Concentrate soap. Add 10 drops of clear essential oils such as rosemary to add freshness to your clothes. To add additional disinfectant properties to your laundry, add 15 to 30 drops of essential oils, depending on how much disinfecting power you want. I generally use 15 drops of tea tree and 15 drops of lavender if I want strong disinfectant properties.

If your clothes are not soiled, but just need to have normal wear odors and oils removed, you can simply add baking soda and white vinegar to your machine, or castile soap and baking soda. Be sure to add an essential oil such as lavender for fresh, pleasant smell. I use about 20 drops of lavender per load. It is best to use only clear essential oils on light fabrics. Citrus oils, because of their color, are best used on darker fabrics.
