Homemade Laundry Detergent

1 - 4 lb 12 oz box Borax - it's found on the detergent aisle













1 -  4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda - cooking aisle













1 -  box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz - detergent aisle












3 - bars of Fels-naptha soap - detergent aisle









2 -  small containers of oxyclean or store brand oxyclean - 3.5 lbs (optional)














*you can use Zote soap instead of Fels-naptha soap. They have it at Home Depot.

1) Start out by grating your Fels-naptha soap just like cheese. You can use either a food processor or a regular ol' handheld cheese grater.

*it will dissolve in the water - even if you just use cold water.

2) Then throw all the ingredients into a 5 gallon trash bag. You're house will smell AMAZING!

Safe for all washers.
Safe for sensitive skin.
You can add laundry crystals to add sent.
