DIY Laundry Detergent is so easy, expensive, and natural! It really does take only ten minutes – and the hardest part is grating the soap. On top of that, it saves me about $20 bucks a month!! Goodbye Tide, hellow Fels Naptha!
It really is super easy. Things you'll need:
At the grocery store, you’ll want to get:
1. Grate the bar of Fels Naptha bar soap using the grater and bowl. This is the hardest part of the recipe. It feels like forever that you are doing it, when in actuality, it takes like ten minutes.
2. Measure 1 cup of washing soda and 1 cup of Borax into the bowl.
Enjoyed the project?

You are wonderful. I am going to the store tomorrow and get the bar of soap.
I have to say I am always surprised at the mean things some people have to say! Wow! If you don't like something how about just move on? Someone offers you something nice and you turn up your nose...? I appreciate people sharing! This is a great idea!

I make my own laundry soap as well but I make the liquid as I prefer that over the powder and yes it does a great job and is very inexpensive.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
So basically you're buying 3 kinds of soap to make ... soap. You can do laundry with the borax alone. Why bother with the rest??
IS this ok for HE machines?
