Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere...


After much research and read Pinterest posts, I've decided to try my hand at making my own laundry detergent.  Call my crazy...my sister-in-law already did, but I like to know what is in my cleaning products. And since most companies don't disclose this information (Seventh Generation does) I am giving it a try. Here are the ingredients:

1 Bar of Fels Naptha soap (or Ivory) - grated fine
1cup of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1cup of Borax
optional -15-20 drops of essential oil such as lavender 

Stir all ingredients together and you're done! Use 1-2 tablespoons per load. Crazy right? You're initial cost will be around $11 and 5 cents per load. I found to have a lot of Borax and Washing Soda left for other batches. 

After 3 loads today; it works great.
