I know most of you have probably already made this before but there might be a few of you out there who haven't. I wish I would have know how to make this when my kids where still living at home. Laundry soap can be so expensive, especially if you have a large family.
I ran out of Laundry soap today and didn't want to run to the store just for that. I had all the ingredient's on hand and it takes all of about 5 minutes to make. It also makes a cute homemade gift.
Fels-Naptha 1/2 bar
Arm & Hammer washing soda 1/2 cup
Borax 1/2 cup
I just made a small batch but you can double the recipe.
Grate the Fels-Naptha into a bowl.
Add 1/2 cup Arm & Hammer washing soap and 1/2 cup Borax, stir it all together and put in a cute little jar.
Add 2 tablespoons to a large load of laundry. Safe for H E machines also.
I believe you have to use hot water for this recipe
ReplyDeleteI normally use warm water, so you are probably correct on that. Thanks for the comment. Angie
DeleteI have to have liquid laundry soap as my front loader doesn't seem to like powder and it won't dissolve, maybe because I always use cold water. Thanks for sharing. Deb
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know for those who have a front loader. Yes if you use this you probably need to use warm water.
