I am trying to make laundry detergent at this very moment... I Googled a lot of recipes and finally decided that they all sound the same and to just go with the 1-1-1 ratio :)
Ingredients:
- Fels-Naptha
- Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
- 20 Mule Team Borax
- Old Laundry Detergent Jugs
- Bucket to mix
- Wooden spoon
- Knife/Board
- Food Processor or Magic Bullet
- Pan
- Funnel
- Start boiling 3-4 cups of water in a large pan
- Cut your Fels-Naptha into small chunks, just like when you cut a potato
- Put into food processor to chop up so you do not have to grate :)
- Pour into boiling water. You may have to wait awhile! Mine was around 15 mins.
- Fill 1/3 to 1/2 bucket with hot water
- Transfer soap water to a safe area and pour into bucket
- Add and mix together 1 C. Borax & 1 C. Washing Soda. Stir until dissolved
- Funnel into your containers approximately 1/2 full and top it off with water
- Begin washing your tools - they will have soap stick to them
- Wa-la! You can make more than toast and eggs now you kitchen magician!
Alright, so I have become a little obsessed with Pinterest and to make it easier if someone wanted to PIN THIS (wink wink) I made a little progression chart of what I did using pictures!
Have fun!
