It's easy (and inexpensive) to make your own laundry detergent in minutes. And you only use a tablespoon or two with each load. At 2 Tablespoons per load this recipe makes enough for about 37 loads! #TexasHomesteader
Powder the entire 5.5-ounce bar of Fels Naptha finely using a food processor (can use a cheese grater on finest grate)
In a container that has a tight-fitting lid, combine the powdered Fels Naptha, 2 cups of washing soda and 2 cups of Borax.
Shake to mix well.
Store in a sealed container that is properly labeled. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons per load.
NOTE: Since the effectiveness of any detergent depends greatly on the hardness of your water, experiment by using the lesser amount, and then increase as necessary.
