Laundry Soap

3 Tablespoons Borax
3 Tablespoons Washing Soda
2 Tablespoons Dawn Dish soap

Put these ingredients in a one gallon jug. Pour 4 cups boiling water into the jug. Swirl until ingredients are dissolved in the liquid. Let liquid cool. Then fill almost to the top with cold water. The bubbles will overflow out of the bottle.
I love this because you can pick an awesome scent with the Dawn dish soap. This dish soap works the best because it gets grease out.

It’s just 3 simple ingredients: Borax, washing soda, and a bar of Fels Naptha soap. All these items can be found in the laundry aisle of any grocery store. I get mine at Walmart!

I start by grating my bar of Fels Naptha. I use a small cheese grater and let it sit out overnight to harden up a little. Just make sure you keep it out of the reach of tiny hands–it looks like cheese!

The next morning I stick it in my food processor and grind it up nice and fine. You don’t have to do it this way, just grated is fine, but I like to get it as close to powder as possible.

Then I just get a 22oz tupperware container and I mix 1 cup of Borax,

1 cup of washing soda,

and my Fels Naptha.

Stir well to incorporate, and stick the lid on it!

I use 1 TBSP per load and this much lasts me around 25-30 loads. I figured it costs me about $1.50 per batch of soap I made, which averages out to $.06 per load. It’s not only extremely cost effective, but it’s a great detergent and gets our clothes clean! We’ve got little kids with big stains and I rarely have to use a pre-treater on anything. It also gets The Hubs’s gym clothes nice and fresh.
