Sure! Making your own laundry soap is quite simple and can be a great way to save money and avoid harsh chemicals. Here’s a basic recipe for homemade laundry soap:
Ingredients:
1 bar of soap (Fels-Naptha, Castile, or any other unscented soap)
1 cup of Washing Soda (sodium carbonate)
1 cup of Borax (sodium borate)
Instructions:
Grate the Soap: Use a box grater or food processor to finely grate the soap bar.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated soap, washing soda, and borax. Mix well until everything is evenly blended.
Store: Transfer your homemade laundry soap into an airtight container.
Usage:
Use about 2 tablespoons per load of laundry. For heavily soiled loads, you can increase to 3-4 tablespoons.
Optional Additions:
You can add essential oils for fragrance if desired (about 10-20 drops mixed in).
Notes:
Always test on a small area first if you’re concerned about fabric sensitivity.
This soap works well in both standard and HE washers.
