The Castile soap that is sitting conveniently by your sink and in your shower.\u00a0I keep a small bottle of Sal Suds in my bathroom cabinet just for this purpose.\u00a0I am all for any little bit of time-saving, so if I don\u2019t have to head off to another room to find the specialty laundry detergent, that\u2019s a few moments of my life saved right there.\u00a0And those moments add up!<\/p>\n<p>Next time you\u2019re about to shower, take that blouse, sweater, or scarf you\u2019ve been neglecting and fill your sink with cold water.\u00a0Add that small squirt of Castile or the Sal Suds, dunk the garment in and swish a bit.\u00a0By the time your shower is done, the garment is ready to be rinsed. It couldn\u2019t be easier.<\/p>\n<p>The Method &#8211; As shown in the video<\/p>\n<p>Add 1 capful Dr. Bronner\u2019s Liquid Castile Soap OR \u00bd capful Dr. Bronner\u2019s Sal Suds to cold water.\u00a0Swish gently.\u00a0Let soak 10 minutes. Swish again to release loosened grime. Rinse with clean water.\u00a0Lay stretchy or heavy fabrics flat, or hang lightweight fabrics to dry. Check out the video for a few more handwash tips.<\/p>\n<p>To condition natural fibers like silk and wool, add 1 cup (240 mL) white vinegar to cold water for a second rinse. Swish garment and rinse once more.<\/p>\n<p>For more on green cleaning &#038; body care, including ways to use our family\u2019s Sal Suds and Castile Soaps, visit my website at LisaBronner.com.
