I recently posted about homemade laundry soap. I have since found a better recipe:
2 c. Fels Naptha Soap -approx. 1 bar (finely grated-you can also try other soaps...I will list those specifications at the bottom of the post)
1 c. Washing Soda
1 c. Borax
Mix well and store in an airtight container. Use 2 tablespoons per load.
I purchased all of my ingredients at M&W (Nyssa). I tried ordering them through Walmart and it proved a headache. M&W carried everything I needed already on the shelf. I paid $4.19 for the box of Borax, $3.29 for the box of Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (which in NOT baking soda) and $1.69 for each of the Fels Naptha bars. After adding everything together and dividing it into batches each load cost approx. $ .04 (or $2.57 per batch = 64 loads). The recipe also states this can be used in 'He' washers also.
Attached is a wonderful link to help you customize your own detergent and to answer any questions. Making homemade laundry soap isn't for everybody but it does save money. You can even personalize it with essential oils creating your own scents. Kind of fun!
