The debate is still up in the air about the safety of borax. For cleaning we think it is perfectly safe. Here is an article from Crunch Betty that debates both sides of the Borax coin. If you need to dry clean your clothes, then using borax is less toxic than the other chemicals most dry cleaners use. The other ingredients are pretty straightforward. No dangers unless you are pregnant. Then you want to limit your exposure to essential oils or fragrance.

So we aren’t the first to write about making your own Dryel sheets, you know the at home “dry cleaning” or garment refreshing kit created by Proctor & Gamble. In fact, Jillee, from the popular blog One Good Thing By Jillee wrote an amazing post about her experiment with crafting a DIY Dryel recipe. We’ve seen similar recipes around the web, but none have recommended specific brands for the ingredients that are safer and more environmentally sound. Enter Perfect Shine’s role in this DIY experiment. We are always working to share recipes and cleaning tips that are safe for you, your family, and the planet. So here is the basic recipe for DIY Dryel sheets!

We recommend using Nature Clean Oxygen Bleach which get’s an A rating from the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Guide To Healthy Cleaning. This brand is much safer according to EWG than some of the other brands (even Eco-friendly ones like BioKleen) on the market. You can order it online from Grass Roots for just $7.99.
