Home Made Laundry Soap

I have discovered the best laundry soap I have ever used! I have not taken the plunge with making my own laundry soap because I just wasn't too excited about heating everything up. Well, I discovered this recipe for powdered laundry soap and it is the best laundry soap I have ever used. I have used Oxyclean for several years and the price just keeps going up. I DON'T use Oxyclean anymore! This mixture is just the best. I hope you will try it. It will save you money and you will be amazed at how clean your clothes are!

Powdered Laundry Soap

1 bar of Fels Napha soap
3 cups Laundry Soda-not baking soda
3 cups Borax laundry booster

Grate the bar of soap into fine shreds. (I use my grater attachment on my Bosch.) Mix with the other ingredients. The soap shreds will settle on the bottom. Shake it up every time you use it.
I use 2 Tablespoons in my front loader for lightly soiled clothing, 3 Tablespoons for heavily soiled clothing.

I also use 1/2 cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle. I rarely use dryer sheets since using the vinegar. I promise you won't have a vinegar smell in your clothing.

On an additional note: I am allergic to scents. I've had to use fragrance free laundry soap for years. I was skeptical about the Fels Napha fragrance. No problem, this laundry soap doesn't irritate my skin.
