Homemade Liquid Laundry Detergent:
a bar of fels-Naptha soap
1 cup of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
(got everything in the laundry aisle at Wal-mart. You can also add 1/2-1 cup Oxyclean & a
few drops of essential oils for fragrance if you like)
You grate the bar of soap & put it in a pot with 4 cups of hot water & heat/ stir on
the stove until all the soap is dissolved. Fill a clean 5 gallon bucket half full of hot water, add the soap, Borax & soda & stir it all up really good, then fill the bucket the rest of the way with hot water & stir again. Put the lid on it & let it sit for 24 hours, then fill whatever container you want to use half full of the detergent & the rest with water. Shake well. Supposed to use 5/8 cup for top loaders & 1/4 cup for HE machines.
(some ppl prefer not to dilute with water & just cut the amount they use by 1/2 instead)
Homemade Fabric Softener:
2 cups of any scented HAIR conditioner
3 cups of white vinegar
6 cups of warm water
Mix well
