HomeMade Laundry Detergent.

I finally did it! I made home made laundry detergent. I found a recipe for it over a year ago and was going to make it, then decided not to. It sounded like a lot of work and I needed a large bucket that I didnt have and space to keep the bucket that I also didnt really have. A few of my friends were talking on facebook about the soap that they made so I decided to dig out my recipe and give it a shot. It is SOOOOOOOO Easy to make and so cheap to make and it makes TON! So here is the recipe I used (I dont remember where I got it, Im sorry)

~Recipe~
1/3 bar of Fels Naptha (or other bar laundry soap) I got this at Walmart for under a $1
1/2 Cup Washing Soda This was like $3 also at Walmart. You want Washing Soda Not Baking Soda. Arm and Hammer makes both :)
1/2 Cup Borax I got this at the local Whole Foods store for a couple dollars, I bought about 2 pounds so I dont have to go back next time I make this.

Grate the soap into a saucepan add 6 cups of water. Heat until the soap dissolves. Add the powders, stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot tap water into bucket. Add the Soap mixture and stir. add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of additional tap water. Stir and let sit for 24 hours. It will Gel and is ready to use! You can add essential oils if you want it to have a particular smell. I actually like the smell of this as is. It is a very clean fresh scent!
Use 1/2 cup per load.

I used this tonight for the first time and I am actually quite amazed at how well it worked and how great my clothes smell. I am very glad I gave this a shot and It will save me oodles of Moola!!! :D XoXo If you try this let me know what you think!!!
