Make your own Laundry Soap

 
This is so easy and so cheap to make, especially if you use your own homemade soap and make your own washing soda.


I am out of home made soap ( on my to do list with so many other things lol)
So I used fals nepta I just made a small batch because I like to use my home made soap so hopefully this will last until I can get some made.

 
 
 

Grate the soap you will need 1 cup grated soap.

 

1 cup Baking Soda
1 cup washing soda you can go Here to see how to make your own
1 cup Borax

 
 

These two things are optional
1/3 cup Purex crystals this makes it smell so good, I don’t use this all the time but I figure that I am saving n the washing soda so I can use a little of this, plus you don’t use a whole lot per batch.

 
 
 
 

1 cup of oxy clean I use the dollar store one or the store brand. I like to use this in the summer when our clothes get so dirty.



 
 
 

Put all this in to a food processor if you do not have a food processor just put into a large bowl.



 
 
Mix all together, then pour into a container use 2 to 3 Tablespoons per load.
I have a front load washer ( which I do not like ) so I add the soap to the drum after I put in the clothes
 
 
 
When I make soap I make a batch plain lye soap that I use for laundry soap.
 
You can double or triple this to make a larger batch.

  1. Hi Connie, I loved the cracker post, really looks yummy. I have never made soap as of yet, but I did but all the ingredients to make it. Well at least it's a start.
    Bought a bunch of cans of tuna this week. Also working on recipes for certain things in my folder.

  3. Just wondering, do you mean 1/3 cup of the Purex crystals or 1/3 of a bottle of Purex crystals?

    Michell,
    I am so glad I am not the only one who does not like my front load seems like everyone I talk to loves theres. I don't think they clean as well plus you can't soak things oh well maybe some day I can sell it and buy a good old top load lol
