Laundry Detergent
1 Box of Borax
1 Box of Washing Soda
1 Box of Baking Soda
2 Bars of Fels Naptha
Grate the bars of Fels Naptha and combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. Use 2 tablespoons per load.
*Fels Naptha can be found at Marsh, Meijer, and Rural King.
*Washing soda can be found at Rural King
As far as my guess-timation goes it cost about $.10 per load. I store the detergent in a 12 quart container and it last me about 9 months
Fabric Softner
Use ½ cup distilled white vinegar
What is the actual size, i.e. 4 lb 12 oz, of each box that you use to make this detergent?
ReplyDeleteThe borax only comes in one size that I am aware of (76 oz)
ReplyDeleteWashing soda is 55 oz
Baking soda is a 4 lb box
All of these can be found at stores like Rural King (they have them all together at the store). Hope this helps!
