Got this recipe off a do it yourself site. It really works and is much cheaper than buying detergent at the store. Add a small amount of essential oil to give it a good smell! Ingredients:
3 pints water |
1/3 bar fels naptha bath soap, grated (ivory soap, deodorant soap, and beauty bars can be substituted for the fels naptha soap.) |
1/2 cup washing soda |
1/2 cup borax laundry detergent |
1 quart hot water |
hot water |
Directions:
1. Mix Fels Naptha soap in a saucepan with 3 pints of water, and heat on low until dissolved.
2. Stir in Washing Soda and Borax.
3. Stir until thickened, and remove from heat.
4. Add 1 Quart Hot Water to 2 Gallon Bucket.
5. Add soap mixture, and mix well.
6. Fill bucket with hot water, and mix well.
7. Set aside for 24 hours, or until mixture thickens.
8. Use 1/2 cup of mixture per load.
9. Essential Oils can be added to soap for fragrance*Washing Soda can be found on the laundry detergent aisle of your supermarket.
10. It comes in a yellow box.
11. Baking soda SHOULD NOT be used in place of washing soda.
