Laundry Detergent Adventure!

As promised, here is the account of my experience with making laundry detergent. Since my hubs just wrote such a lengthy and detailed post, I figured I would keep this one simple. :)

Step 1:

Grate 1 bar of Fels-Naptha.

Step 2:

Combine with 4C hot water and heat on medium until fully melted.

Step 3:

Fill a 5gal bucket half way with hot water. (Not really picture worthy).

Step 4:

Add 1C Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda, 1/2C Borax, and the melted soap to the bucket. Stir well.

Step 5:

Fill the bucket the rest of the way with hot water. Stir. Cover overnight.

Step 6:

Fill detergent container half way with the detergent and half way with water. We are re-using milk cartons. Shake before each use as it will separate.

This makes 10 gallons of detergent, smells great, and works well too!

Grace & Peace,
