I was spending so much money on laundry detergent before I found this recipe. My husband and Boy 3 have very sensitive skin and various allergies so I had to be really careful with what I used. We've been using this for about two months now and I am completely satisfied with it. Safe. Cheap. Effective.
All three ingredients were found on the same shelf at Wal-Mart on the laundry detergent aisle.
- 1 bar Fels-Naptha .99
- 1 cup Borax $3.49
- 1 cup Washing Soda $3.49
Use a cheese grater to grate the bar of Fels-Naptha. Mix together with Borax and Washing Soda in a medium sized bowl. Store in an airtight container. We use an old coffee container. I use 1 TBSP per load, 2 TBSP if it's a heavier or more soiled load. Yes, just 1 TBSP. I also use cold water for all of my washes and the soap dissolves just fine and leaves no residue behind. Keep in mind that this does not produce a lather. Suds do not equal clean. I love the fresh smell. One batch of this lasts me about a month and we go through A LOT of laundry as a family of six.
