I have been itching to make my own laundry soap for a while. I even bought some of the ingredients but I was just never excited about making liquid soap. I use the powder and I wanted to keep doing that. I was thrilled when I found a powder recipe. We will see if it save me money.
The ingredients:
3 bars Fels Naptha Soap – 2.37 each or 7.11
1 box 20 Mule Team Borax – 3.99
1 box Arm & Hammer Washing soda – 3.79
Oxiclean Stain remover – 4.47
1 box Arm & Hammer baking soda – 2.39
Total cost 21.75
It filled the tide box I had, plus the Oxiclean container plus some left over. I only need 1 tb so I am using the oxiclean scoop. I have done my first load today so I don’t know how well it works.
Lessons learned:
1. Grating 1 bar of Fels Naptha Soap by hand is more than my arm can handle
2. My food processor can do it fast but kind of messy and loud.
I will report in later how this goes.
