Homemade Laundry Soap

I have decided to try to make my own Laundry Soap.. Its sooooooo much cheaper. This is the recipe for the powdered version. Next I'm going to make the wet one and I'll post it!





The recipe for the laundry soap is as follows. Feel free to add the anecdote if you like.

1 c. shredded or grated bar soap (I use the food proc. to shred the little soap bars from motels, or buy soap at $1 store.
1/2 c. super washing soda (Arm and Hammer) This can be tricky to find but some grocery stores carry it. A & H toll free locator number is 1-800-524-1328.
1/2 c. borax (Borateem avail in laundry deterg. aisle.)
This doesn't suds up. Use only 1 tablespoon.

I make a double batch of this and it lasts 6 months.
