Step 1

Start by pouring portions at a time of the ZOTE laundry flakes into a blender and blend until it reaches a powdered consistency (this will facilitate dissolving in your washer machine).

Step 2

Prepare the bag you chose to mix your ingredients and pour the whole content of every container in the bag (you can do this by portions as well to facilitate mixing).

Step 3

This mixture alone without the fragrance pebbles already smells like glory! But if you’re a fragrance freak like me and you love digging your nose into your laundry upon being washed, then by all means add the fragrance container of your choice! It will make this experience delightfully even more pleasing!
