To make the laundry blocks for yourself, you’ll need baking soda, Borax, Oxy Bleach and water.

You’ll also need a silicone ice cube tray, which you can buy for just $1.50 from Kmart. 

Mix one cup of baking soda with a cup of Borax ($8 per kilo) and half a cup of Oxy Bleach.

‘Slowly add water until you get a wet sand consistency,’ Carolina said.

You can then pack this cleaning consistency into cubes inside the silicone mould tray.

‘Allow them to dry out so they are complete compact cubes,’ Carolina said. 

Once this is done, all you need to do is store the cubes in a dry place such as a glass container near your washing machine, and then put one in with your sheets and towels.

‘This miracle block will replace your detergent and stain remover,’ Carolina said.
