I also made the Homemade Laundry Detergent that my friend Cristal Blogged about. And i love it.
Recipe:
Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap- Front or top load machine- best value
ShareThis
4 Cups - hot tap water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup - Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda*
½ Cup Borax
- Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
-Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.
(I skipped some of the next step...)
-Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel)
AFTER I FILLED THE 5 GALLON BUCKET, I went on and divided the 5 gallon mixture into 2 5gallon buckets and then filled both with water. This way all i have to do is pour it in my empty Laundry dispenser.
-Optional: You can add 10-15 drops of essential oil per 2 gallons. Add once soap has cooled. Ideas: lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil.
-Yield: Liquid soap recipe makes 10 gallons.
-Top Load Machine- 5/8 Cup per load (Approx. 180 loads)
-Front Load Machines- ¼ Cup per load (Approx. 640 loads)
