Laundry time

So I found a recipe for laundry soap and an all-purpose cleaner i really like. There are 2 other blogs you can check out for these and other recipes, the second one has info on the price breakdown of making this laundry soap i like and how they put a scent in there's. i have not tried putting anything yet into mine for scent, i have skin allergy problems to certain detergents so wanted to make sure first that the soap didn't bother me-so far so good!

Here are the blogs:

The laundry recipe I like is this:

(makes about 50 loads and the supplies you buy make about 3 batches)

2 cups borax

2 cups super washing soda

2 cups baking soda

1/2 bar zote soap (full bar if Fels Naptha )

I have an extra grater so i grate the soap and mix all ingredients in a plastic container with a lid. Use about 2 tbls. (or 1/8 cup) per load.

*You can also add Hydrogen peroxide and some baking soda to your washer if stuff is really dirty or use that with some water to soak clothes before washing (1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide with 1/2 cup baking soda and as much water you need)

The all - purpose cleaner:

1 spray bottle

1/4 cup white vinegar

2 tsp. borax

1/4 cup liquid soap (I used dawn to help with grease)

Mix all ingredients in bottle then fill to top with Hot water. You can also use they say about 20 drops of essential oil, but I have not tried that yet.

If anyone has tried these or some other recipes for homemade cleaning ect. products tell me how you liked them or what you did different! Email me or leave comment.
