Homemade Laundry Soap

I first made my own laundry soap last year (adapted by lizmarieblog) and fell in love with it. Not only do I save a ton of money, about $30 to make, but also I know exactly whats in it.

After doing some research regarding septic units I found that Fels Naptha, which I used in my first recipe, isn’t good to use. opps my bad. So this year I changed up the recipe just a little bit to make it septic friendly.

1 box borax (laundry aisle)

1 box Arm & Hammer Baking soda (laundry aisle)

1 box Arm & Hammer Super washing soda (laundry aisle)

4 lbs Oxi Clean (laundry aisle)

Purex Crystals (laundry aisle)

3 bars of Dr. Bonners Pure-Castile Bar of soap

**If you are pregnant please either wear a mask or have your husband mix the ingredients due to the fumes

In a large bucket pour in the Borax, Baking soda, Washing soda, Oxi Clean, Purex Crystals and then grate the bar of soaps with a cheese grater. Mix well and convert to a glass container (found at Walmart). This recipe will make 3 Gallons and lasted us a full year with 2 people!
