Homemade Laundry Detergent Recipe

Homemade Laundry Detergent

From tuilelaith 11 years ago

I prefer to make my own soap at any time, I know what is in it that way. This is the next natural off shot to me. Laundry detergent!!!

1 bar soap, ivory soap normally, this time I used Patchouli Forest shopping list
1/2 cup 20 mule team borax shopping list
1 cup Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda shopping list
3 gallons of water shopping list

Take 4 cups of the water and cut up the bar of soap, or grate it, into the water.
Put it in the the microwave and nuke it for about 3 minutes.
Keep an eye on it you do not want it to over flow.
Check it to be sure all of the soap is melted.
Once it is melted pour it into the rest of the water.
Use 1 cup per wash load.

What do you think?

Ok, so this one doesn't "taste delicious," but it cleans and smells great!

I just made this, but use Fels-Naptha. You are right, it cleans and it's cheap! The mark-up is ridiculous!
