We dumped in the ingredients in a dish, mixed it, and put a lid on it.
We should see how it works this week. Here's to hoping it turns out better than the dish detergent!

Laundry
I am finishing up a box of laundry detergent. I bought it before we even arrived at our new home, so I decided to go ahead and try my hand at homemade laundry detergent.
There are a lot of recipes out there. Many require 5 gallon buckets of goop, but I'm trying a simple 1:1:1 mix of laundry soap, borax, and washing soda, since I don't want to commit all that space if I can avoid it.
By far, the hardest part is grating the soap, but I'm sure that it could be done more simply if you have a better tool than a cheap grater.

That's the amount it should take (in the green cup from my regular laundry detergent).

Kristy,
ReplyDeleteI've been using this laundry detergent for a few weeks and love it. I too preferred to try the dry instead of the 5 gallons of goop.
