I can not even tell you how long I've been making this laundry soap and enjoying it very much. It also can make a great gift! I have never had a problem with it not cleaning the clothes good enough. Sometimes I'll switch from using this for awhile and then to a liquid detergent that is clear of all fragrances. I'm very careful with what goes into my body and what goes onto my body. I only want clean ingredients, that's why I'm a "PROOD".
Ingredients:
Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
Borax by 20 Mule Team
Dr. Bronners Pure Castile Bar Soap
Directions
Using a food processor some sort of grater, grate up your bar soap. I usually do 2 or 3 at a time just to get it done.
Mix equal parts of the bar soap, borax and washing soda and stir until combined and mixed throughly.
Use 1 tablespoon per laundry load.
Tip: I usually run my laundry on the cool or cold setting, heat tends to speed up ruining your clothes, plus it saves on the budget (not using the water heater).
BONUS:
Stain Removing Treatment - Have Tough Stains?
Try this easy and has never failed me treatment!
Run your stained area under water to saturate, rub with a bar of soap (I use either my homemade soap or the castile soap). Then pour on peroxide. Let sit for a few hours and wash as normal. Voila! I've used this on all colors, all stains (even oilly stains) and have been succesfful. If it doesn't work the 1st time try again.
A lot of people use the fels naptha soap, I prefer not to. You can research the safety of ingredients by going to: https://www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners/441-FelsNapthaHeavyDutyLaundryBarSoap/
This is in comparison to the kitchen aid processor I use.
