You’re in for a treat! Making your own laundry detergent is a budget-friendly and eco-conscious choice. Here’s a simple recipe using just 3 ingredients:
Ingredients:
1 cup Borax
1 cup Washing Soda
1 cup grated Fels-Naptha soap (or other pure soap flakes)
Instructions:
Combine: In a large jar or container, combine the Borax, washing soda, and grated soap.
Mix thoroughly: Seal the jar and shake vigorously to combine all the ingredients.
Use: For a top-loading washing machine, use 1-2 tablespoons per load. For a high-efficiency (HE) machine, use 1-2 teaspoons.
Tips & Variations:
Essential Oils: Add 20-30 drops of your favorite essential oil (like lavender or tea tree) to the mixture for a pleasant scent.
Hot Water Method: For a more liquid detergent:
Combine 1 cup hot water with 1/4 cup washing soda and 1/4 cup borax in a jar. Stir well.
Add 1/4 cup grated soap and stir until dissolved.
Add 1 3/4 cups cold water and stir again.
Let it sit overnight to thicken.
Adjustments: You may need to adjust the amount of detergent used based on the size of your load and the hardness of your water.
