DIY Laundry Detergent

DIY Laundry Detergent is so easy, expensive, and natural! It really does take only ten minutes – and the hardest part is grating the soap. On top of that, it saves me about $20 bucks a month!! Goodbye Tide, hellow Fels Naptha!


It really is super easy. Things you'll need:
bowl
medium size cheese grater
1-cup measuring cup
1/3 measuring cup you can part with as a scooper
storage container for the detergent






At the grocery store, you’ll want to get:
1 bar of Fels Naptha bar soap: $0.97
box of borax: $3.38
box of washing soda: $3.24






1. Grate the bar of Fels Naptha bar soap using the grater and bowl. This is the hardest part of the recipe. It feels like forever that you are doing it, when in actuality, it takes like ten minutes.






2. Measure 1 cup of washing soda and 1 cup of Borax into the bowl.
3. Mix up the stuff in the bowl all together and make sure you mix it well. Break up any huge chunks.
4. Finally, pour the whole thing into your storage container – and throw in your 1/3 measuring cup to use as a scooper :) You are done!
What you see in the image below is how much I got – and it has lasted me about 30 loads of laundry. Not bad for an $8.00 initial investment!
