Homemade Laundry Detergent

November 4, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Homemade Laundry Detergent

Here’s a simple solution to expensive laundry detergent try homemade laundry detergent with 3 simple ingredients. I got this recipe from diynatural.com and tried it this weekend. This was simple, fun and saves money.

 

The recipe on diynatural.com used 1 cup of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda, 1 cup of 20 Mule Team and 1 bar of Fels-Naptha but since this has a great shelf life I made a bigger batch.  They recommended 1 tablespoon per load or 2 – 3 for larger or heavily soiled loads.  I am sure this is a powerful detergent but 1 tablespoon seemed skimpy, so I increased my amount.

 

Depending on how much you use this detergent it can be as low as $0.16 per load.  Although cost was a factor in my decision to go with homemade laundry detergent; I also enjoyed knowing what ingredients were used.  Keep in mind your clothes cover your skin, decreases skin absorption by using products with the least amount of chemicals.

 

Problem: Laundry Detergent

Fels-Napth found in the laundry detergent in the grocery store is the final ingredient in the Homemade Laundry Detergent.  Fels-Napth manufacturer claims it is most effective for it’s stain removal ability with chocolate, baby formula, perspiration and make-up.  Since this comes in a bar form, grating is required.  I used my food processor.
