DIY Easy Laundry Detergent

Easy Homemade Laundry Detergent! -that is fun to make

Ingredients: 

  • 1 box Borax
  • 1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
  • 1 5lb container of Oxiclean
  • 1 5.5oz Fels Naptha Laundry Bar
  • Optional: 1 container of Downy Unstopables for a fresh scent

Total spent to make this: $34, compared to the $100 I would have spent in store bought detergent for 9 months

This makes enough detergent for 9 months when using the suggested 1 tablespoon per load.

Directions:
1. Gather your ingredients, I ordered mine from Amazon.com

 2. Grate the Fels-Naptha Bar



 3. Combine ingredients in a Large bucket, I used a 5 gallon bucket bought from Walmart for $2

4. Stir

Note: this scoop came in the Oxiclean and is useful for transferring finished product.


 5. Empty into the containers of your choice I used quart sized mason Jars



REMEMBER! You only need 1 tablespoon per load, can be increased to 2 tablespoons for large loads but you will not need more than that
