Step 5: Add Essential Oils (Optional)
Once the liquid is cool, add 10–15 drops of your favorite essential oil for natural fragrance and extra antibacterial benefits.
Step 6: Store and Use
Transfer your homemade detergent to a clean bottle, jug, or container with a lid. Shake before each use, as natural mixtures can separate slightly.
🧺 How to Use
