Anyone ever attempt making their own laundry soap? I have, and I went through a few recipes to find one that I like. The best part is it is cheaper than regular laundry soap and I can add in oils to scent it however I would like. I have been using this recipe since the first of December and I haven't put much of a dent in using it up!! That makes me sooo incredibly happy!Here is the recipe I got it from http://www.couponcloset.net/homemade-laundry-detergent/ (it's a great site, go show some love and check it out)
20 mule team borax 4lbs 12 oz,
3 bars Fels-Naptha,
oxi-clean versatile stain remover 3lb.
purex crystals, 28oz or 36.2oz Gain Fireworks
Arm & Hammer pure baking soda 4lb,
Arm & hammer super washing soda 55 oz.
Shred your soap, I used my ninja to chop mine very finely. Then mix everything together. I used a huge bucket to mix it in and then put it in a pretty container. I got my glass container at wal-mart, but I found some on amazon too. I also had to store some in quart mason jars.
I add oils to each batch of laundry so that my oils don't evaporate and loose their yummy smell. I really like using Lavender and orange on my bedding. I use the DoTERRA blend Purify on my towels. And whatever scent I am enjoying in the moment on my other clothing. I usually just ad 3-5 drops of oil per batch of laundry, and I add it to my detergent so the oils are not going directly on my clothes. Click here to order DoTERRA Oils
To use the soap, just use 1/8 cup of soap per load of laundry. I am so happy with it and I love how my clothes smell.
