**Today’s Daily Sweet Fix is all about making your own homemade laundry detergent!**
Making your own laundry detergent is easy to do, and it costs a fraction of the price that you pay for the bottled stuff at your favorite store! I also like the fact that I can use my favorite scented bar soap to create the smell that I love! You can also add a few drops of scented oil if you prefer!
Ingredients ::
- 1 bar bath soap, grated (your favorite brand-scented or unscented)
- 1 cup arm & hammer super washing soda laundry detergent (a laundry booster)
- 1/2 cup borax
- Hot water
Directions ::
- Place grated soap in a pot
- Cover with waer and simmer with medium heat until soap is melted, stirring occassionally.
- Pour mixture into a 5 gallon bucket
- Add washing soda and Borax
- Add enough hot water to fill the bucket
- Stir with a long stick such as a measuring stick
- Let the mixture sit overnight to form a gel
- Use 1 cup per load-mixture makes enough for 80 loads of laundry!

***You can pour this into old detergent containers or leave in the bucket. Make sure to keep the liquid out of the reach of children***
Do you make your own laundry detergent or have you made it in the past? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this!
