Are you tired of spending so much money on laundry detergent? Isn't it frustrating how the "cheap" detergent costs so much as well? I've read various posts about making your own laundry detergent....powder and liquid. It sounded like a great idea and a wonderful way to save a little money. I wanted to try the powder detergent first as I thought it would be easier to keep on hand than the liquid form It was very easy to make and I promise....it works!
Homemade Powder Laundry Detergent
1 Bar Shaved Fels Naptha Soap
1 cup of Borax
1 cup of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 cup of Downy Unstopables (any scent you choose)
Directions:
Stir the ingredients together (after shaving the soap) and use 2 TBS per load of laundry. It's low-suds recipe and is great if you have any skin sensitivities too!
Not sure if you're saving anything by making your own detergent? Well, according to Walmart prices 40 loads of Tide are around $9.24. The cost of ingredients for the homemade detergent ended up being around $2.80 at Walmart. So yes, you are saving money. And as it only takes about 5 minutes to make and is easily stored, you just can't beat it!
