HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT!!!!!
Have you ever wondered how to make your own laundry Detergent?
Have you wondered about the cost and benefits (ME TOO!) I have been searching and searching to learn more about the cost, process and if it will indeed benefit my family! I have a family of 7 so detergent can get extremely costly!!!!
So here is what I am going to try!!
(cross your fingers lol)
Liquid Detergent
1 quart water (boiling) 2 cups bar soap (grated) 2 cups borax 2 cups washing soda
1. Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.
2. Pour the soap water into a large, clean pail and add the borax and washing soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
3. Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.
4. Cover pail and use 1/4 cup for each load of laundry. Once it's cool, add 5 - 7 drops of your favorite essential oil per gallon. Stir the soap each time you use it (it will gel).
Powdered Detergent
2 cups finely grated soap 1 cup washing soda 1 cup borax
1. Mix well and store in an airtight plastic container.
2. Use 2 tablespoons per full load.
