In an earlier post, I added a homemade laundry soap. It works just fine. However, having 2 dogs and stinky boys at home makes this laundry soap a big improvement in our home!
This easy to make recipe lasts my family of four about 4 months and costs about $12 to make. I keep used peanut butter jars and the like to store my laundry soap in.
2 Bars Fels Naptha Soap
2 Bars Zote Soap (or flakes)
1 55 oz Box Mule Team Borax
1 55 oz Box Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (not laundry detergent!)
2 lb Box of Baking Soda (optional for homes with pets or strong smells in clothing)
18 oz Container of smelling Crystals from Downy or Gain (optional)
Use a cheese grater, blender or food processor to grate the bars of soap into flakes or small beads. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl or container. I recommend using a mask or doing this outdoors. The dust from mixing the powders can be problematic.
**Use about 2 Table Spoons of Laundry Soap in a full load.
