@;-- ok so I have been making my own laundry soap for about a year now and I think I have finally found what works best for me. I found a recipe on the Duggars web page for home made laundry soap they have a liquid version and a dry. First I made the liquid and it's wonderful the only problem is the space it takes up. it requires a 5 gal bucket plus something else to dispence/dilute it in. so about 2 months ago I tried the powdered version and I love it! it's the same ingredients as the liquid minus the water and it fits in a quart jar on the dryer!
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup - Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda*
½ Cup Borax
grate the Fels-naptha into small chunks/fine pwoder (think b-bs or smaller) then add the other ingredients and mix together :) small loads 1 Tbs for large loads 2-3Tbs
@;-- another thing I have started making is pretreater
equal parts Cascade compleat and Clorox2 this is great for all Biological stains :) about 1-2 Cups per load and let it set overnight to soak. it's wonderful
@;-- you can also use White vinager instead of fabric softener in the washer. I have not had static in my laundry since I've started doing this.
@;-- I have started mixing 1/2 c of the finished pretreater and 1/2 c oxyclean in when I make my laundry soap. I'm really liking the mix...I do double the amount I put in the washer to make sure there is enough soap though
