Thrifty Thursday on Friday

Homemade Laundry Soap


ingredients
1 bar of laundry soap (Fels Naptha) or your favorite soap of choice (Ivory, homemade)
3/4 cup of Washing Soda
3/4 cup of Borax
*all of these items can be found at Publix on the laundry aisle



step 1- grate your bar of soap into a pot, then add six cups of water and heat until all of soap is dissolved.


step 2- when soap is completely melted add 3/4 cup of Borax and Washing Soda

step 3- stir the mixture over heat until completely dissolved, during that time, add 4 cups of hot water to your bucket or jar. when the soap is all dissolved pour mixture into the glass jar with the water.

step 4- add a gallon and a half of cold water into the bucket/jar and stir to mix well. It is in a liquid form. Cover and it will set into a gel form. Use 1/2 - 1 cup of detergent per laundry load.

You can add a essential oil scent at the same time you add the borax and washing soda.

I will let you know how it compares to commercial detergent. I am a diehard Gain fan, so the standard is high.

This made about 3 gallons of detergent for about 1.50 for the whole batch!

Thrifty Thursday on Sunday???


I am not sure if these deals will be here by Thursday so I thought I would share. Disney is having summer PJ's clearanced at 3.99. Both boy and girl sets mainly around sizes 2T,3T,4T . So if you need these sizes it is a super deal.
