Homemade Laundry Soap

Hey everyone! People have been asking me about my homemade laundry detergent that I use, so I have decided to share the.. uhh.. ingredients? Sorry, that sounds weird. Let me start off by saying that this is REALLY cheap to make and works just like all the other brands. My clothes smell and look great, gets rid of stains like grass, dirt, blood, etc., and did I mention that it is cheap? Since I am not at home, I can't show you step-by-step photos, but I will do my best to describe and I promise that the next time I am home I will take step-by-step photos. I did a lot of research because my family was going through some rough times with money and this has helped us save SO MUCH money! I also make my own hand soap and dish soap as well, but that is for another post.
Okay, well here is my story. I started off trying different recipes and making liquid laundry detergent.. which.. don't get me wrong, it was fun and a challenge to make.. but storing it was a HUGE problem. So this right here is powdered laundry soap and it is SUPER easy to make!
Steps to making CHEAP laundry soap!

• You need Borax, Super Washing Soda, Fels-Naptha Soap, and if you want it to smell good pick up some Purex Crystals as well. 

• I would buy at least 4 bars of Fels-Naptha soap so that way you won't have to make another batch for a long time.
• Some things that you need are a cheese grater, Food Processor (optional), bowl, a measuring cup, and a container to put the soap in.
• First thing you are going to do is to grate the Fels-Naptha soap just like cheese.. WARNING!! It actually looks like cheese so make sure no one in your household eats it if you leave it out.
• After you grate the cheese.. I mean Fels-Naptha soap.. I like to put the grated soap into my food processor so I can break it down even more. That way it will be similar texture to the washing soda and borax. Also to make sure I have equal amounts of everything. After chopping up the soap, it should look smaller and almost similar to a powder.
• Now after processing the soap you need to measure 1 cup of the Fels-Naptha soap, 1 cup of Borax, and 1 cup of Washing soda. Pour all three ingredients into a container or bowl and stir thoroughly. Should look something like this.

• Now if you decided to buy the Purex Crystals, pour a cap full into the mixture and stir again.
• That was easy.
• Now if you want more, Repeat! Easy as pie, right?

Here is a picture of mine (Sorry for the poor pictures)

One scoop per wash!

This is the Container I have.

This is what my soap looks like.

• The scoop that I use says it is 29.6 CC- 1 oz. It came with the container that I have. The container use to hold something similar to protein powder, I think. haha.
• Enjoy this recipe and I promise that once I have to make some more, I will take my own photos of me doing it so you can see. If you have any trouble or questions let me know!
