Making Septic Safe Laundry Detergent

RE: Making Septic Safe Laundry Detergent By Larry (Guest Post) Pouring ammonia down your drains and running it thru your washing machine and dishwasher will break down fats and grease that accumulate in drain pipes. It may not smell the best, but it will work. Ammonia will break down naturally in the septic system anyway.

PVC is carcinogenic, according to California law. California posts warnings when an item contains PVC. I know it's widely used but I wonder how safe PVC actually is (or isn't).

Can the septic system tell the difference if the soap comes from your body or the laundry? You can use any type of soap, it doesn't have to be Fels Naptha. The ingredients are green and are often used in homemade cleaning mixes. They're probably safer than most store-bought detergents.

It's chemical-free and lasts 2 years or 2000 washes. I haven't used laundry detergent for a year and my clothes come clean. It saves you a lot and is worth it's weight in gold.

You'd probably save more money (not taking a chance of ruining septic system) buying a "natural" detergent. Check labels and look if it says "safe for septic system". More and more companies are making"green" (eco-friendly) products now and that's what you need.

It was hard like bar soap, and we replaced the pipes.

I just rinsed twice to make sure all the soap was out of the clothes because I used the same detergent on their clothes that I used on mine, which was usually Tide. The only problems I ever had was from a diaper delivery service. Even though I asked them to rinse twice I don't think they did because my twins kept getting diaper rashes. When I quit using the service and started washing the diapers myself the rashes quit. I just double rinsed.

My family has sensitive skin so this works best for us. And the clothes come out clean. This would not be any worse on your septic than using it on your body, I do not think. I never used a special soap for my son's baby clothes. I just washed all of his clothes with ours and he turned out just fine. :) This was back before I made my own soap though. I was using All free and clear liquid, but it is very expensive. Posted on 08/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
