This tutorial aims to help you produce your own liquid detergent at home easy to make (20 minutes for the preparation and 10 to 24 hours of rest before storage). It is home-made, zero waste, biodegradable (100% of natural product) and uses resources easily accessible in rural areas as in urban areas. The detergent can be kept for 3 weeks in a cool space sheltered from the light

zéro waste, lessive, zéro déchet
Ivy liquid detergent is based on the extraction of saponin - foaming agent - retained in leaves (and not the stem) of climbing ivy (and not creeping ivy to avoid leaves contaminated with animal urine). By boiling and infusing the leaves in water, we obtain a concentrated liquid which can substitute mainstream detergents.
Collect around 50 leaves for 1L of water
Ivy is a shade plant that generally grows on tree trunks but also on the north faces of buildings and low walls.
Ivy leaves are alternate, with a fairly sturdy limb, dark green or slightly whitish around the edges. Young leaves are star-shaped, while adult leaves have two different shapes depending on their function:
- stem leaves are palmatinervate with 5 more or less deep lobes (sometimes 3)
- those of floriferous stems (with access to light) are oval, with a sharp apex
Simply clear leaves with water to eliminate dust and and any unwanted things.
It is not necessary to remove the stems, up to your preference.
After washing, you can rub or chop the leaves so that they release their saponin more easily.
Bring to the boil and leave to boil for around 15 minutes, covered. Then remove from the heat.
Leave to cool gently and macerate overnight, without removing the lid.
The next day, strain the mixture (the ivy leaves should have turned a dark green) using a skimmer, a fine sieve or a cloth. You can compost the ivy leaves if you have a compost bin or composter.
The recipe can be kept for up to 3 weeks in a bottle, away from light and heat (or in the fridge in summer). In a warm place, this detergent will quickly ferment: you can easily identify a change in smell and the appearance of bubbles in the bottle.
To preserve your ivy detergent for longer, you can pour it into silicone cake moulds and place it in the freezer. Two moulds are equivalent to two caps.
The quantities are the same as for your conventional commercial detergent. If you want to make your washing a little more effective without using more detergent, you can add a little baking soda (1 handful per litre) to the mixture.
