This is so easy & fun AND saves you a lot of money! So all you need are few simple, easy to find ingredients and a cheese grater!
Ingredients:
1 cup washing soda
1 cup borax
1 bar Fels-Naptha (grated)
 |
| Grate the soap --- looks just like cheese! And smells amazing... |
You can find everything you need in the laundry aisle in any major store. The large boxes of washing soda and borax are only about $3 each! This conconction makes enough detergent for about 64 loads of laundry! Looking on some other websites, people have estimated that it only cost about $0.01 per load. What a deal :)

| Mixed ingredients |
So, all you do is grate the Fels-Naptha - I just used a simple cheese grater. And then mix all of the ingredients together - ta da! I've even tested it on a load of laundry and it worked great! If you like your laundry to have more of a scent to it when it comes out, you can try using Zote instead of Fels-Naptha. (it's also pink!)
You only need 1-2 Tablespoons per load :)

| Put some in a Ball jar for a cute, simple gift :) |
Has anyone else ever made their own detergent??
I'm going to try the sweet stash you gave me on my mountain of laundry tonight - excited to try it! P.S I loooooove the layout of your blog! So you and too cute! :) - Andrea
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe Ang! Last week I made homemade laundry soap specifically for cloth diapers, which aims to leave NO residue to help with cloth diaper absorption. It was so fun--now I'll have to try this for our regular clothes. Thanks! Molly
