Semi-Homemade Laundry Detergent
While I in no shape, form or fashion consider myself an all-organic type of girl, I have started making my own semi-homemade laundry detergent and I absolutely love it! It does have some chemicals in it, which are easily removed if you so wish. This produces very low suds so it's great for high efficiency washers. This particular recipe also leaves our laundry smelling fresh until we get ready to wear it. Hubby is so intent upon using it, he actually made the last batch!
Semi-Homemade Laundry Detergent
(Makes Approximately 2 Gallons)
2 Bars Fels-Naptha Soap (dice then chop in food processor)
1 Bar Ivory Soap (dice then chop in food processor)
1 Large Box Baking Soda
1 Box Borax
1 Box Washing Soda
1 Large Bottle Purex Crystals
2 Containers Generic OxyClean
Put a large garbage bag in bottom of 5-gallon bucket. Pour in all ingredients. Twist bag well, lift and shake to mix ingredients. Put into container (I use a 2-gallon glass jar with lid from Wal-Mart) and you are ready to use. I use about 2 coffee scoops per load.
