home made laundry detergent


This is a recipe courtesy of MW.

I have been using this laundry detergent for quite a while now, and love it!
It is simple to make and costs a whopping $ .35/gallon

1/3 bar Fels Naptha Soap
1/2 Cup Borax
1/2 Cup Washing Soda
1 1/2 Tbsp. liquid dish detergent

Directions:
grate Fels Naptha Soap into saucepan with 1 pint of water and heat until melted.
Add Borax and Washing Soda .
Stir and mix well.
Pour into a large bucket and add water to make 2 gallons.
Let it set up overnight.
use 1/2 - 1 cup per load.

(I store it in my old one gallon milk jugs)
