So, last night, I finally got around to making the homemade laundry detergent I've been wanting to. It's so easy and not expensive, I don't know why more people don't do it. I'm only assuming it's because they don't know how.
Homemade Laundry Detergent
What all you'll need:
1 bar soap
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda
a pot that holds more than 2 gallons
2 gallons of water
a large spoon
a funnel
a grater
2 empty gallon jugs
Grate the bar of soap and pour it into the pot.
Pour in 1 gallon of water, and cook until the soap dissolves.
Pour in the borax and washing soda. Bring it to a boil. It will coagulate. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 gallon of cold water.
Pour into the empty gallon jugs.
Use about half of a cup per wash. I kept an old laundry detergent cap to use.
