I love inexpensive. I also love natural, healthy choices for my family. Rarely do these two worlds collide. When they do, I hop on the bandwagon!
My friend gave me a simple recipe for laundry soap. I only have 2 pods left of my Sam's club soap. I decided it was time to try it out. I ordered my supplies on Amazon with free two day shipping. Amazon prime is so good to me! It only cost about $40 to get started, including the storage container. I have enough supplies for at least 4 batches.
Start by boiling one gallon of water in a large stock pot. Add one bar of grated soap.
Stir until soap dissolves. Then turn off stove.
Add two gallons of cold water. Stir to cool soap.
Add one cup of laundry soda.
Add one cup of borax. Stir it one more time.
Transfer to a five gallon bucket with lid for storage. That's it!! Super easy and fast. Use about one half of a cup with each large load.
I also read the back of the borax box. I am excited to try it for other cleaning purposes. Cleaning the disposal made it to the top of the list.
Saving money is awesome! One step closer to bringin' Mama home.
How does it smell? Also, do you guys have sensitive skin to most laundry soaps? I use free and clear soaps because of the smell and itchy factor.... Let me know how you like it.
ReplyDeleteI think it smells great, but not strong. We have super sensitive skin over here too and I have not noticed any problems.
