I finally made homemade laundry detergent! I’ve had the ingredients for about two weeks, and I just haven’t had the time to do it. However, if I knew it would only take about 15 minutes to make, I would’ve done it earlier!
Ingredients:
1 bar Fels-Naptha soap
1 cup Borax
1 cup Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
First, grate the Fels-Naptha soap:
It was VERY easy to grate. The bar is dry, but soft, and it took no time to grate it.
Second, put the grated soap into a food processor.
It turned out to be grainy more than powdery.
Then mix it with the Borax and Washing Soda (1 cup each)
Here’s the finished product! It is a double batch since I had two bars of soap.
It smells AMAZING! Very fresh and clean, but not perfume-y. I can’t wait to use it!!!
*Note:
The recipe I used said to use 1 tablespoon per front load (HE), and up to 2 tablespoons for heavy soil. I’m sure the same could be used for top loaders. It’s supposed to have VERY low suds.
