Ingredients To Make Homemade Laundry Detergent |

Someone posted a recipe for your own clothes washing detergent. I have been unable to find Fels Naptha.
Also, what is the difference in washing soda and baking soda? Thanks.

In our grocery stores around here, the Fels Naptha soap is stocked where all the bar soaps are.

You don't have to use fels naptha soap. Any bar soap will do. It can be another laundry soap like zote, or a body bar like dial or ivory, or even homemade bar soap.

Washing soda is 100% sodium carbonate. I get mine from a place that has swimming pool supplies. It is not the same as baking soda.
Editor's Note: If you look in the laundry soap section of the grocery store it is usually on the top shelf with the Borax, Borateem and powdered all fabric bleach. Baking Soda is Bicarbonate of Soda, Washing Soda is Sodium Carbonate like she said. They are different but you can use baking soda as a substitute if you can't find the Washing Soda.

I use an equal amount of borax and baking soda. I think it was a 8 lb box of borax and then 8 of the baking soda boxes. I even just used the Generic that Walmart had. I have had the same (plastic with a lid) box from the old soap powder for more then a year since I just keep up the mix when it gets low.
I also noticed that the softener I use is allot more noticeable with these as washing agent without using as much as well.

I get Fel's Naptha, Borax and Washing soda all from my local Kroger's store. Look high on the shelf in the laundry section. Also if you email Arm and Hammer with any questions about their products they will mail coupons to you.
