Laundry Soap

Have you tried the homemade laundry soap that has been on pinterest? This is another recipe that Kelsie and I made, and I love it! Being Creative to Keep my Sanity is the website we used.

Head over to the blog for her great tutorial!
(the pictures are also from the website.)

Here is what you need to make the soap

1 4 lb 12 oz box Borax (2.15 kg or 76 oz) found in the detergent aisle

1 4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (1.81 kg) found in the cooking aisle

1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz (3 lb 7 oz) found in the detergent aisle

3 bars of Fels-naptha soap, found in the detergent aisle,(you can also use pink Zote soap instead--available at Home Depot)

2 small containers of oxyclean or store brand oxyclean (try to get about 3.5 lbs total (1.58 kg)) found in the detergent isle.

You should be able to find all of these items at your grocery store, for about $20. You only use 1 Tbl. per load, so it lasts a LONG time.

To Make:
Grate the Fels-naptha soap (with a cheese grater)
Toss all of the ingredients into a 5 gallon bucket lined with a garbage bag
Shake or stir well
Store in a jar or a bucket and that is it! So easy and so cheap!

I have a high efficiency washer and this soap has worked fine...not too sudsy!
