Super Easy Laundry Soap
No need to buy detergent from the store again!
Toxins in detergents can be harmful to your health and aren't legally required to be listed as ingredients. The only way to be sure of what's going into your washer, and eventually on your skin, is to make it yourself.
This recipe is short and simple and you can alter it to your liking.
All you need is:
-Borax
-Washing Soda
and
-a bar of Soap-whichever you prefer ( I chose Dove Sensitive Skin)
~Grate bar soap
~Add one (1) cup of washing soda
~Add one (1) cup borax
~Mix together with fingers
~Put in whatever container your heart desires
~Use one (1) tablespoon per load of laundry, more if clothes are especially soiled
~Wash as you would with any other detergent
My clothes came out fresh and clean, but without the scent, which I prefer. If you would rather your clothes smell, chose a scented bar soap.
I should mention, if you like liquid soap it's as simple as heating the grated bar soap in a little water on the stove until it's melted then pouring it into a tub or bucket. Add the other ingredients and water until it is half full. Let it sit overnight, shake it up, and add more water until it is the desired consistancy. I was being lazy and the powder works fine. :)
