Homemade Laundry Soap [View all]

[Squinch]

You all doing this? I can't remember if I have seen a thread on this, but I'm surprised if it hasn't been covered here.

In case it hasn't, here's my recipe.

In an old laundry soap bottle (1 gallon type) put:

3 Tbsp of Borax

3 Tbsp of Washing Powder (you get it in the laundry aisle. It looks like a giant box of Arm and Hammer baking soda, but it's called washing powder)

3 Tbsp of Dawn

Put them in with about 2 cups of very hot water, swish it around to melt and mix the components. Let it cool a little, fill up the bottle with water.

It costs a couple of cents for every gallon. You need to shake it each time you use it, but it works as well as other laundry detergents I've used. You can put essential oils into it for scent if you like.
