Homemade Laundry Detergent

I am attempting to make my own laundry soap! It will end up costing only about .03 a load vs. store bought at an average .35 a load.

Here’s the recipe:

1 bar bath soap (Ivory is best-and can be used for baby clothes)
1 cup washing soda (Arm and Hammer - found in laundry section of grocery store)
1 cup baking soda
1 cup 20 Mule Team Borax (found in laundry section as well)

Grind ingredients together in your food processor. Use 2 Tablespoons for a full load.

You can also use Dawn to fight laundry stains, and white vinegar as a fabric softener. (The smell disappears when the clothes dry.)

White vinegar is so versatile! You can also use it as a rinse aid in your dishwasher, as well as for keeping ants off your counters or floors - instead of using harsh ant killers. (Bugs can’t stand the taste of acid.)
