home made laundry detergent


Hot water
1 bar (4.5 oz) Ivory Soap – grated
1 cup Washing Soda
essential oil to fragrance.
  • In a large saucepan add grated soap and enough hot water to cover. Heat over medium-low heat and stir until melted.
  • Fill a large pail with 2.5 gallons of hot water, add hot mixture. Stir until well mixed.
  • Then add the washing soda, again stirring until well mixed.
  • add essential oils
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Use 1/2 cup per full load, stirring well before each use (will gel)
it should end up looking a bit risotto-y. you need a hairspray size capful with each wash.

annddd make sure the soap is vegetable oil based- anything fragrance free will work fine.
