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.
Ok, I have really been wanting to try making my own detergent. Thanks for sharing your recipe! I do have one question..........do you need to do anything differently if you have a high efficiency washer?
