Homemade Laundry Detergent!

     For a while now I have been wanting to try making my own laundry soap, but I wasn't really brave enough haha. My friend Becca made it and she really liked it so I decided I would give it a try. It works really well and smells great...I wont lie I was really surprised! The recipe comes from the blog being creative to keep my sanity!

INGREDIENTS

1 4 lb 12 oz box Borax (2.15 kg or 76 oz) found in the detergent isle

1 4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (1.81 kg) found in the cooking isle

1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz (3 lb 7 oz) found in the detergent isle

3 bars of Fels-naptha soap, found in the detergent isle

2 small containers of oxyclean or store brand oxyclean (try to get about 3.5 lbs total (1.58 kg)) found in the detergent isle. (this is optional)
(you can also use pink Zote soap instead of Fels-naptha)

MAKE IT

1. Start out by grating your Fels-naptha soap just like cheese. You can use a food processor or just use your hand held grater, what ever you have. Toss all ingredients in a 5 gallon bucket lined with a garbage bag. This part makes your whole house smell great. Once everything is mixed store soap however you like.

Orange Scented Vinegar!

 

     I use vinegar as my main cleaning agent in my house because it is pet and child friendly.  All you need to do is take some vinegar and take your orange peels from the orange you have eaten and let it soak for a few weeks. You dont need to go and peel a bunch of oranges right away just add the peels as you eat them!!! I came across this when I was searching on the site dollarstoremom.com!
