First of all make a laundry liquid:

Mix 20g flakes with 0.5 litre of hot water, stir to dissolve. Allow to cool and decant into a tub with a lid. You can use this mix straight away. Please note the liquid will set to a jelly like consistency overnight. This mix gives you: 10 hand washes or 7- 10 machine washes.

For handwash - dilute the ready made mix in a bowl of warm water. Use 3 tablespoons (or a scoop) to 5 litres of warm water

For machine washing: use 3 - 5 tbs (or 1 - 2 scoops) depending on laundry in the drawer dispenser/washing ball.

A 500g bag of Yorkshire Soap Flakes gives you 162 - 250 washes in total.

For hard water areas you can add between 50-100mls of white vinegar (distilled) in the fabric conditioner compartment every now and then depending on how much washing you do, but start with every 2 months. You can do this in conjunction with a wash or you can run the machine empty and add.

For brightening your whites, add 1 tbsp of Bicarb of Soda to your wash (or a small scoop of soda crystals)

For a scented wash, add a few drops of essential oils to your washing liquid mix, whatever scent you like - good ones to add for washing are lavender, citrus or tea-tree. Lots of our customers use a small amount of our Marseille Laundry Liquid Lavender or Citrus Fruits which adds a delightful fragrance.

We have been informed that crafters involved in wool craft - felting, looms, weaving etc use a natural soap flake wash to treat the wool and release the natural oils to make the wool soft and fluffy. If you do this please contact us we would love to write about it in these top tips!
