Homemade Laundry Detergent



As you all know, I am obsessed with Pinterest! They have so many neat ideas! This one I had to try! With a family of 5, we got through laundry detergent like it's water! If I could make this for only a Penny a load, then that would be a huge budget saver!  Here's the recipe:

1 bar of Naptha Soap (any kind, found mine at Walmart)

1 Cup of 20 Mule Borax

1 Cup of Washing Soda (Arm & Hammer Brand)

Water



First you grate you soap...

Then in a 5 qt pan fill it half way with water...

Add in the soap and cook on Med-Low until the soap is melted....

Then add 1 cup of Borax and 1 cup of Washing Soda....
 


Cook until combined...

Take 3 bottles and evenly divide the liquid into each...
Fill with water the rest of the way but leave enough room on the top to shake!

And There you go! Done!

You may have to give the bottle a good shake before you pour into your washing machine!
