DIY:Homemade Laundry Detergent


Homemade Laundry Detergent!

Whaaatt??!!  Laundry Detergent??!!  Yep, with just a few household ingredients you can make your own laundry detergent that will work and last so much longer than store bought!


Laundry Detergent:

Grate 1/3 bar of Fels-Naptha Soap over large pot or saucepan…

•Add 6 cups of Water.
...

•Heat over medium-high until soap dissolves and melts.

•Add Washing Soda & Borax, and stir until dissolved.(1/2 cup of each)

•Remove from heat and set aside.

•Pour 4 cups Hot Water into bucket, then add Soap Mixture.

•Stir, then add 1 Gallon + 6 Cups of additional water. Stir.

Transfer to a bucket with a lid, or pour into empty laundry detergent containers.

•Set aside, and let it sit overnight, or up to 24 hours, to thicken and gel up.

•Consistency and color will vary depending on your soap & water ~ it may be lumpy and watery… kind of like a watery gel, but it works great!

•Stir or shake before each use, as it will continue to gel.

•Good job… you did it!
