Dry Laundry Soap for Twenty Dollars a Year

Homemade Laundry Deteregent using Borax and baking soda.

Buy these ingredients at the dollar store. You will only need 2 tablespoons per load of laundry.

Materials

3 bars of Fels Naptha soap
1 box of borax
1 box of washing soda
2 cups of baking soda
2 containers of Oxiclean

Instructions

First grate your soap, then mix all ingredients together. I used two garbage bags doubled up. Tie well and shake all your ingredients around a few times. Put into a container with a lid.

You can add 1-2 containers of fabric softener crystals into the mix for a nice smell.

My first load was tried on my son's clothes. He works at a fast food resteraunt. Not only are the clothes clean but no fast food smell. even his stinky socks are clean. Thank you so much for sharing

I might have to try this. There are less ingredients to screw up my septic system.
