homemade laundry detergent

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I tried the first listed powdered laundry detergent tonight and it was

great! The clothes smelled cleaner than they ever have and I used Tide!

Wanted to share since it is cheap and easy to make, less chemicals too.

Powdered Laundry Detergent

 

 

1 Cup Grated Fels Naptha Soap

1/2 Cup Washing Soda

1/2 Cup Borax

 

For light load, use 1 tablespoon. For heavy or heavily soiled load, use 2

tablespoons.

 

Powdered Laundry Detergent

2 bars Fels Naptha soap, grated (or enough

bars to make 28 ounces)

8 cups washing soda

4 cups borax

4 cups powdered all-color bleach (optional)

20 drops (or more) essential oil (optional)

 

Mix all ingredients together and store in a lidded container. This will last

a LONG time!

 

For light loads, use 1 tablespoon. For heavy or heavily soiled loads, use 2

tablespoons.

** add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of baking soda (softens and deodorizes) and or white

vinegar (softens and reduces static) for fabric softener.

 

Dishwashing Soap

Use 2 tablespoons baking soda and 2 tablespoons borax per load. "

Tip:

 

You don't have to let the water go down the drain when running the hot water

to the dishwasher or shower. Put a pitcher under it and use the cooler water

left in the pipes for dog water, plant watering, etc.
