Homemade Laundry Detergent?

Welcome back!

I have being going all out in trying to save money this month, as I want to have a large amount of extra funds come Christmas time. While I have being doing my usual money saving activities such as couponing, stockpiling and reusing I have also looked for new ways to cut back such as making my own laundry detergent. To a lot of people homemade laundry detergent may sound like a very extreme and time consuming measure but it’s actually quite easy to make and works very well. I was given a great laundry detergent “recipe” from a friend, and have found it to be simple and effective. I’ll share it below and recommend that you guys give it a try! The”recipe” is as follows:

2 cups Fels Naptha Soap which you will want to grate well
1 cup Washing Soda
1 cup Borax

Simply mix the ingredients well and store the same as you would other powdered detergents. Generally two tablespoons are needed for an average sized load, but you may find that you need more or less dependent on your load size and how dirty your clothes are.
