ROODT made by Nature

Spring Reset isn’t just your closet. Your pillows need it too 🌼

When was the last time you actually washed your pillows?

→ Yellow marks, a weird smell, or waking up stuffy
→ Ideally every 3–6 months, depending on use

How I wash mine in the washing machine:

1. Add your pillows to the washing machine, preferably two at a time to keep the load balanced.
2. Add your normal detergent + 2 scoops of Bio Bubbles.
3. Choose a gentle cycle with warm water, if the care label allows.
4. Run an extra rinse to make sure everything is thoroughly rinsed.
5. Dry completely. Tumble dry on low if suitable, or air dry in the sun, turning/fluffing them regularly.

Pillows collect sweat, body oils and dust over time, so giving them a proper wash is an easy part of your spring reset.

Just check the care label first. Some pillows, especially memory foam, aren’t suitable for the washing machine.

Save this for your spring clean. And send it to someone who has never washed their pillows 😅

Since we first shared our recipe in 2018, Boergel (Liquid Boerseep) has taken South Africa by storm ,and for good reason.

Why buy bulk, single-use-plastic packaged “boergel” for R90 per 5L when you can make your own authentic, natural, multi-use 5L for around R54 and actually enjoy the process?

With Roodt Boerseep it has never been easier to care for your home and family the natural way.
Make your own cost-effective, biodegradable, greywater-safe, earth-kind BOERGEL in minutes.

And here’s the most important part:

We only use pure tallow.
That is how REAL, AUTHENTIC Boerseep has always been made.
No seed oils. No fillers. No shortcuts.
Just true traditional soap the way our ancestors made it.

Made with pure organic coconut oil, it’s a simple little bar that can be used around the kitchen and for those stubborn little laundry jobs.

ONE BOX. SO MANY USES.

What if one little box could replace several products taking up space in your cleaning cupboard?

Roodt Bio Bubbles is one of those hardworking products that can do far more than one job.

For your Spring Reset, reach for Bio Bubbles instead of reaching for a separate product for every little problem.

It can replace or reduce the need for:

• Chlorine bleach → for whitening laundry
• Stain remover → for stubborn stains
• Laundry booster → for whites, bedding and towels
• Nappy/cloth soaker → for soaking suitable washable items
• Mould & mildew cleaner → for suitable bathroom areas
• Odour remover → for fabrics and laundry
• Specialised laundry whitener → for dull whites and socks
• Fabric/freshening cleaners → for suitable washable fabrics

And you can use it for:

White laundry | Stubborn stains | Bedding | Towels | White socks | Tea & coffee stains | Kitchen cloths | Food-stained containers | Outdoor fabrics | Bathroom cleaning

That’s a lot of jobs from one little box.

Less clutter. Fewer single-use products. A simpler cleaning cupboard.

One box of Bio Bubbles. So many possibilities.

*Always follow the Bio Bubbles usage instructions and check suitability for the specific fabric or surface before use.

DAY 1 | RESET YOUR CLEANING CUPBOARD

Before you buy another cleaning product, take a look at what you already have.

How many bottles are sitting in your cupboard that only do one thing?

This spring, we’re choosing a simpler approach.

Products that work hard.
Products that can be used in more than one way.
Products that earn their place.

Start by pulling everything out of your cleaning cupboard and asking:

Do I use it?
Do I need it?
Is there a simpler alternative?

You might be surprised by how little you actually need.

Welcome to The Roodt Spring Reset.

A new season always makes us want to open the windows, clear the cupboards and start fresh.

But we’re not interested in perfection or doing more just for the sake of doing more.

We’re choosing less clutter, more intention, simple routines, fresh air and more time outside.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be sharing little ways to reset your home, your everyday routines and the way you use the products you already have.

Nothing complicated.

Just simple, thoughtful changes that make everyday life feel a little better.

Welcome to spring, the Roodt way
