Tip of the Day – Make Your Own Laundry Detergent
Posted on July 25, 2008 by
Yesterday, when we talked about switching to powdered laundry detergent, Audrey mentioned that she makes her own.
She was kind enough to share the recipe with us.
Check it out at RecipeZaar.
She also passed along some notes about the recipe.
“This is the recipe I used. I used the whole bar of fels naptha so I doubled everything else in the recipe. Today I found Zote bar soap in the grocery store – 14 ozs for .98 so it’s WAY cheaper than the fels. I have grated the whole bar (well better half did it actually) and have it ready to be mixed soon as I finish the little bit of the first batch I have left. This is so easy to mix up and the clothes, line dried of course(!) come out so soft. I have made some lavender bags for the dryer for when I absolutely have to use that.”
Thanks, Audrey!
SO trying this next. thanks, audrey and allie!
Awesome! I’m going to look for that this weekend at the store. After reading Audrey’s response yesterday I had a mental note to google how to make my own. Thanks!
