Here it is, as some of you know I am using home-made laundry detergent to wash clothes of 11 people in our family. It simce working out great. My husband is taking a nap on our washed in homemade laundry detergent sheets and he loves it. That is plus for me:)
I will post two different recipes and you can choose what is good for you. I got them from my friend who is making everything from scratch even shampoos:)
Here is a recipe #1
1 cup of washing soda(I use arm and hammer regular soda, but you can find washing)
half a cup BORAX (Wall-mart and meijer have it, Menard's -do not know what you talking about:)
1 bar of soap FELS-NAPTHA is great, but you can use any other soap.
3 gallons of water
Great soap that it can melt easier( I use shredder). Boil 4 cups of water and add slowly soap and stir until completely melts. (I mad a mistake and my soap did not melt completely:)). Meanwhile, place 3Gal. of warm water in 5gal. bucket ( use warm tap water) Pour Borax and Soda in bucket and mix until dissolved. Add melted soap to the bucket. Place a lid on the bucket and allow to sit for overnight. When you are ready to wash your clothes just put 1cup of your home-made laundry detergent in.
My detergent gets a little leaky, oh well hey, clothes are clean is that what is important:)
Home-made laundry detergent #2 (I have not done this way yet)
1 bar Fels-Naptha
41/2 gl hot water in 5 gl bucket
1 cup of whashing soda
Place soap in a sauce pan and cover with water. Heat over low heat until soap is dissolved, stirring constantly. Add melted soap and washing soda to the hot water in bucket. Stir. Allow to cool overnight. When you are ready to launder, add 1 cup home-made laundry detergent to your wash.
I hope you will enjoy this not only by clean clothes, but by it is easy, fun to make with kids and it saves money. We love it!
I will try to post more home-made things. Just keep checking in.
God bless!
Soli Deo Gloria!!
