Biome Laundry Concentrate Bar
There's so much to tell you about this amazing little product that we have created. It is a tricky formula to get just right so that it is solid enough for a bar, but also dissolves easily, and then suds up enough to wash your clothes beautifully. It's a very clever plastic free way to deliver a liquid laundry effect without any of the synthetic surfactants that rely on palm oil.
You can customise how much you use. The mainstream laundry and detergent sheet brands will have you believe they are a "perfectly delivered dose". But, that is simply not the case. There are so many different scenarios based on the size of your machine, the size of your load, and the hard or soft water in your area.
So when you use the Biome Laundry Concentrate Bar, we recommend testing different amounts and coming to know how much is needed for you.

The cost
One bar makes 4 litres. Based on using approx. 50ml each wash, that is up to 80 loads, which equals 31 cents per load.
For stained, heavily soiled and smelly clothes, you may wish to pre-soak with the liquid in a smaller amount of water. For larger volume loads, you may want to add three to four tablespoons.
So for some people it may be more around 60 loads, which makes the bar 42 cents per load.
How to use
Cut each bar into 8 pieces. Place two cubes into this dispensing container and fill up with 1 litre of water. You may also re-use any container or jar you already have, such as a glass pasta sauce bottle or preserve jar.
Allow to dissolve for two to three hours, or just overnight.
Swirl the jar a little before each use (no need to shake as it just creates bubbles).
Using the accurate measuring cup, pour out 50ml and add to your wash!
How much you use depends on your water, wash size and soiling of the clothes. For a heavily soiled or large load, use 100ml.
For particularly stained, smelly or dirty clothes, the liquid works very well as as a pre-soaker. We suggest about 75ml (about three tablespoons) of liquid into a mixing bowl size of water. Let the clothes soak for about 30 minutes and then place the lot into your wash (no need to add more liquid).
