This is one thing I am truly glad I pinned and did! We have saved so much $$ over the past year in laundry detergent and this recipe is so incredibly easy, inexpensive, works perfectly and lasts for months!
Here is what I used to make a batch the other day:
The needed things to make this wonderful laundry fix are:
A painter's bucket - got at Home Depot for a couple dollars
Cheese Grater - the $ Store
2 Containers of Oxy Clean or the generic brand is fine ( I use both or mix if the store only has 1 of each )
1 Box Borax
1 Box Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda
1 Box Large Arm and Hammer Baking Soda
1 or 2 Bars of the Fels-Naptha Bar Laundry Soap
I empty all the ingredients into the painters bucket, but make sure to do slowly and I turn my head for the dust, then I use the large side of the grater and grate the Nels-Naptha Bar soap right into it. I just mix all together using my hands, until the what looks like "cheese" is mixed through and then pour into the 5$ container I purchased at Walmart. I use the scoop from the Oxy cleaner and if a really large load I use 2 scoops. That's it! Mine lasts approximately 8-9 months!
I have a regular machine but on all the packages it says safe for He machines.
Do use at your own discretion as this is just what I use and share with family. I am not taking credit for this idea as I received it from the blog linked below, she answers more ?'s if you have doubts.
Here is the breakdown in price for months of laundry soap: :)
Walmart:
Container: 5.00
Oxy-Clean 3.86
Fels-Naptha .97
Super Wash Soda 3.24
Large Baking Soda 2.18
Borax 3.38
Total: 18.63
- 5.00 for the refills
13.63 !!
Hoping you enjoy this as much as we have! It is truly nice NOT to have buy Tide or Cheer $$ every 2-3 weeks!
