"make my own laundry detergent"
"make my own laundry detergent"
I'd been wanting to do this for quite some time now, but just hadn't had the motivation to up and do it. Then I noticed that the detergent we'd been using was getting low and only had 5 or 6 loads worth left. Nothing will light a fire under my ass like necessity! And my gosh, this turned out to be so incredibly easy...
1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 cup Borax
2 cups grated bar soap
(I used about half Fels Naptha and half Dial White)
So stinking easy... mix it all together, add some essential oils, stick it in a container and WASH!

Wow, that's really awesome. Go you for making the world a greener place (and for doing something from your perfect world list) :)
hmmmm...what an awesome feat! have you used it yet? how'd it work? i am so anxious to hear...i have been dying to do this for ages...
I've used it on about 10-12 loads so far and am quite happy with the results. I tend to wash on warm (I know, I know, not so good for mama earth, but I live with dirty stinky boys) and it's gotten things clean, fresh smelling, and doesn't leave behind any clumps or anything like some people told me it might. I've already made a second batch and I think I'm gonna be using some variation of this recipe for a long, long time.
wow! i'm going to do this too! coincidentally, i only have about 5 loads worth of soap left. is Fels Naptha buy-able at regular grocery stores? (i never heard of it, but that could be just me.)
and yours even looks pretty! double yay-ness!
