Ingredients

Ingredients:

* 1/2 Cup Fuller’s Earth (commonly known as bentonite clay)

* 2 tbsp Pearl Ash (commonly known as potassium carbonate)

* 20-30ml Fresh Lemon Juice ( Or make a citric acid solution with 1/2 teaspoon powdered Citric Acid and 30ml of water).

Follow these steps:

• 1

  Method: Mix the two powders together, then slowly add the lemon juice or citric acid solution until you have a clay-like texture. You’ll notice it heats up a little while you’re doing this. Mould the clay into balls about the size of large marbles using rubber gloves and place on an oven tray. Bake at 100°C for about three hours. You’ll know they are ready when they’ve turned form dark grey to light grey and gone hard. When cool store in an airtight container. To Use: Dampen stain and rub a ball onto it. You should see a grey, clay-like smear appear. Leave this to dry, then wash as normal.
