Homemade Laundry Detergent

By rrxing

With the prices of detergent being outrageous, I feel really happy every time I make a batch of this.
This won't make many, if any, suds. Suds don't equal clean.

Ingredients

• 11 bar of soap (any kind you want)
• 1cup1 cup of Borax
• 1cup1 cup of washing soda
• a big pot ( that holds more than 2 gallons)
• a grater
• a funnel
• longa long spoon
• 22 empty gallon jugs/containers

Preparation

Step 1

Grate your bar of soap into your pot.
Fill one gallon jug and pour water into pot with grated soap. Cook until the grated soap dissolves.
Add the Borax and washing soda.

Bring to a boil. It will coagulate.
Turn off the heat. Add 1 gallon of cold water. Stir well.
Pour 1 gallon of your detergent into each container.
A funnel helps tremendously.
Now you have 2 gallons of homemade laundry detergent.

I use 1/2 cup per load.
