Homemade Laundry Detergent Tabs Food

HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT TABS

Steps:

• Grate a bar of soap (can also shred in food processor).
• Mix the grated soap, baking soda, washing soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Slowly add the vinegar a little at a time and mix until it starts to clump and is easy to manipulate.
• Press into ice cube trays (really press hard).
• Set the trays out to dry in a sunny place for at least 24 hours.
• When you use the tabs, add them in with the load and not in the separate area for detergent if your machine has one. They won't dissolve properly without enough water.

Steps:

• Place grated soap in a pot.
• Cover with water and simmer over medium heat until all soap is melted, stirring occasionally.
• Pour into 5 gallon bucket.
• Add washing soda and borax.
• Add enough hot water to fill the bucket.
• Stir (I use a long measuring stick, but any long stick will work).
• Let sit overnight to gel.
• Use 1 cup per load.
• (You can pour this into old detergent containers or leave in the bucket. Please cover with a lid if leaving in the bucket to protect children and pets.).
