Homemade Laundry Detergent...

I have been trying to do better about the cleaning agents I have been using... I have been making my laundry detergent for some time now... For several reasons...

1. It is certainly cheaper!!!

2. I know what is coming in contact with my family...and that they are harmless products...

3. It helps to cut down on the amount of chemicals I expose myself and my family too...

Here's the recipe I use and with great results...                               

12 cups Borax
8 cups Baking Soda
8 cups Washing Soda
8 cups Bar soap (grated)  I use Kirk's Castile which you can buy at any grocery store...

• Mix all ingredients well and store in a sealed tub.


• Use 1/8 cup of powder per full load.
