Does anyone else think laundry detergent is over priced? Surly I am not the only one.
Over two years ago I thought I would try to make my own. I am so glad I did! This stuff works great and costs pennies!
Go buy these supplies:
*Borax
*Washing Soda
*Fels Naptha
Go gather these supplies:
*One cup measuring cup
*Spoon
*Large bowl
*Grater of some kind (I used to use a Microplane but the Pamper Chef cheese grater works much better)
*Cute container for your detergent (I used an old Ovaltine container that I covered with scrapbook paper)
Step 1:
Grate your entire bar of Fels Naptha. It took me 15 minutes to grate it with my PC grater. It takes a bit longer with a Microplane.
Step 2:
Add in 1 cup EACH of Borax and Washing Soda. Stir.
**optional: add in 1 cup of booster such as Oxyclean**
Step 3:
Pour your detergent in to your cute container.
To use:
Add 1 Tablespoon to your washing machine.
This works great for HE machines.
Like I mentioned, I have been using this for two years and have loved it. I have had the same box of Borax and Washing Soda this entire time. It doesn't take long to make and it saves you large amounts of money.
