A friend of a friend blogged about this great homemade laundry detergent. I thought I would give it a try. I have often thought about making my own cleaners and such, just have never gotten around to it. I happened to come across Alyssa's blog right before I went grocery shopping one day, so decided to go ahead and pick up the ingredients. Super easy. Only three ingredients. All of which I found at Fry's. Walmart carries the borax, but not the Super Washing Soda or Fels-Naptha. Here's the recipe:
3 Cups Borax
3 Cups Super Washing Soda
3 Cups Fels-Naptha (approx. 2 bars)*
Mix together and use 2 Tablespoons per load
*I had to cut the soap into small pieces and then put them into a food processor a few at a time. I assume I got them small enough. Didn't really have a choice, they weren't getting much smaller.
I was also out of Shout Stain Remover and when I went to pick up some more I saw that they now have a 99% natural stain remover. I had a coupon and thought I would give it a try.
I've done two loads so far using both products. So far so good. I am thinking about giving them a really good test, you know, taking a white shirt and dousing it with various staining products. I am also attempting to keep track of how many loads I can get out of this batch. I will update on this later.
