This Year, we have decided to tighten our budget significantly. We want to weed out crap that we buy just for a moment's joy. We also have a goal to either buy or build a new house or to add on to ours (which may actually cost us more.) One thing I've decided to start doing again was laundry detergent made at home. Last time I tried it, I made a liquid detergent but Josh started having some issues with the smell, and I couldn't deal with a lack of smell. I've found a new winning blend. I wanted to share the products, post pictures of them & hopefully keep track of how long the batch will last us.
Homemade Laundry Detergent
2 Bars Fels Naptha Soap (grated)
2 lbs. Baking Soda
4 lbs. Borax
55 oz. Super Washing Soda
Oxiclean Odor Blaster 3 lb. tub
**Oil Drops if wanted**
Combine all ingredients after grating Fels Naptha & stir well to be sure to get some of everything in every scoop.
I also store my detergent in a glass jar I'd bought originally to be a candy/cookie jar. I kept the scoop from my Oxiclean tub. I use roughly 1/4 to 1/2 a scoop per load.
