Betty Grable – The original pin-up girl advertising Lux Flakes.
Wilkaniko have a great range of eco-friendly products for your laundry as well as your house to get you ready set for the big clean!
I especially like the Soap Flakes. I have a vague recollection of seeing these ads in old, old magazines. Do you remember Lux soap flakes? These soap flakes are made by the company that used to make Lux! Soap Flakes are predominantly pure soap – with no added perfumes, enzymes, bleach, phosphates or additives, so you can be confident that they will degrade harmlessly without damaging watercourses and aquatic life. They have not been tested on animals and far less likely to cause skin irritations than regular detergent washing powders. The packaging is made from 80% recycled board.
These flakes are perfect for your vintage garments, gently handwash or pre-wash out any stains with the flakes before putting really delicate items on a cool delicate wash.
Top Tip! Try a homemade laundry recipe – easy on the pocket and your conscience.
Simply add 16 tablespoons of Soap Flakes, 8 tablespoons of Borax substitute and 8 tablespoons of Soda Crystals – all available at Wilkaniko to an airtight container and shake up the ingredients. Use two to three tablespoons of the mixture in your washing load. The washing powder will last for approximately ten washes, with the average cost of about 20p per load.
Need a little help? If you can’t get your clean on to these 80s babes nothing will get you grooving!
Lets hear it for the Pointer Sisters!! I said TURN IT UP!
