How To Make Your Own Laundry Detergent!

How To Make Your Own Laundry Detergent!

Tamona is here with another great DIY project:

I can barely choose which project to do each week. This week I decided to teach you to make your own laundry detergent. The formula is very simple and cannot be ruined. Basic (small scale 5 gallon bucket)

Recipe:

  • 2 cups of Borax
  • 2 cups of Washing Soda
  • 1 cup Vinegar or Water (optional and can be replaced with water)
  • 2 bars of soap
  • *Fill 5 gallon bucket with water*
Basically, you use equal parts Borax and Washing Soda. If you are making a smaller container of detergent, then just fill whatever container you use with hot boiling water.
The amount of Borax and Washing Soda can be tweaked as long as you keep them equal.
In this video I used twice the amount of ingredients because I made a 10 gallon bucket.

    Roberta do you carry some with you when you leave home? I try and keep some in a small jar in my car or in my purse. I use it as a stain lifter when I am out and it is amazing! My sons play football and they always have a white jersey for away games. YES, white! What were they thinking? Well, I am the only parent who doesn’t have tons of grace stains by the end of the season lol! It works to fool the other team into thinking your kid doesn’t play much too lol!
