Laundry Soap

I have been reading about others making their own laundry detergent.  It is suppose to be a thrifty way to do laundry.....that word, "thrifty" caught my eye.  :)

I decided to try the dry recipe....less work....and I don't have a front loading machine, so I can use powder.

I mixed up a double batch....tested it out....I think it is cleaning good....haven't had anything really nasty to test it on yet though.

The little chopper worked great for the bar soap.....until I got to the 7th batch....it was a little too much for that cheap little chopper.  Next time around I will use the grater.  I won't be making more for a long, long time though.....a little bit goes a long way.

Just so you don't think I have huge hording issues (making 7 batches), I sent a jar home with my daughter....with instructions to only use 1-2 Tbsps per load.  I am sure she will let me know what she thinks of it soon.

1 bar soap (I used Dove)

1 cup Borax

1 cup Super Washing Soda
