I make my own laundry detergent because it is better for the environment. I like this recipe because my clothes come clean, it costs less, it uses less and there are no extra added chemicals. I also started using dryer balls and totally cut out dryer sheets. My clothes come out smelling fresh. This is good for me because I don't like smelling really strong scents on clothes. This is good for people who are sensitive to smells and also with sensitive skin. It smells clean without being overpowered by a strong scent. Try it out! I have been using it for several months now and I will never buy store bought laundry detergent or dryer sheets again.
1 bar castile soap
1 cup washing or baking soda
1 cup borax
1. Grate one bar castile soap into fluffy flakes. (I personally like Kirk's Original which is $2.99 for 3 bars at my local SuperOne Foods store.)
2. Mix in 1 cup washing or baking soda (I prefer baking soda because I can buy in bulk and use in baking) and 1 cup borax with the soap flakes.
3. Add one or two TBSP to laundry.
