DIY Laundry Detergent
Ingredients:
1/3 or a bar of Fels-Naptha soap (grated for melting)
1/2 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
Directions:
- After you grate the soap, place it in a pot with 3 cups of water and melt over low/medium heat. Be sure not to let it boil over.
- When the soap has completely melted, add the washing soda and borax and stir till fully dissolved. (About a minute or two.)
- Place 3 gallons of water into your 5 gallon bucket.
- Add the mixture from the pot into the bucket and stir.
- Let it all sit for 24 hours. It will get a little bit thicker.
- Stir it again well and pour it in the container you want to use to store it.
Use about the same amount you would use of a store-bought detergent. Like a capful or so.
Sounds like a no-brainer to me!!
