I made my own laundry detergent
1 comments
A few weeks ago I made my own laundry detergent. I wanted to see how it worked before I passed the idea onto anyone else but it seems to be okay but I think I need to tweek the recipe I was using to make it a little stronger for the sweaty stuff. So I am about to make my second batch but I am going to use the recipe on this site instead:
The Simple Dollar � How To Make Your Own Laundry Detergent - And Save Big Money
These are the same ingredients and the same process but this recipe calls for larger amounts of all ingredients but less water. I'm expecting a stronger detergent from this and that will be the end of it. I won't ever have to buy detergent again and it will save lots of money over time. I do at least 1 and sometimes more loads of laundry a day to keep up. Just thought I would share this success story since it seems to be working out great for me. If anyone decides to try it, you might have a little trouble finding the Washing Soda. I found it at Kroger. Lots of people say Wal-Mart has it but I checked 3 Wal-Marts and they didn't have it. Also, I used ZOTE soap which can be found on the laundry aisle for $.97 for a bar which is a laundry soap bar for stains. That was my choice for the bar soap called for in the recipe.
