SUE'S HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT
I was given this recipe by a customer where I work. This is very easy to make and you'll love the cost. Broken down (approximately) $7.86 Arm and Hammer Detergent(7.94 lbs), $4.19 20 Mule team borax(76 oz), .72 bar of Ivory, $1.19 bar of Fels. The cost of a bucket of soap is approximately $1.84!!! Also it smells great. Hint- putting soap in freezer for about an hour makes it much easier to grate.

Steps:
- The first 4 ingredients are what you need to buy. The next 5 are to make the actual recipe.
- Dissolve soaps and detergent in 5 gallon bucket with 4 cups of boiling water.( I used the paint stirrer and drill for this the 2nd time I made it, it dissolved the ingredients much better than by hand).
- Once dissolved add another 4 cups of very hot water.
- Stir well and add enough water to fill 5 gallon bucket to the top.
- Let sit overnight. Soap will gel up and you will need to stir completely with your hand or use a paint stirrer on the end of a drill. You can fill empty laundry bottles or keep in bucket with a cover.
- 1 - 5 gallon bucket will make about 80 loads of detergent.
- ( A little extra math- 1 box of Arm and Hammer, 2 boxes of 20-Mule Team, 15 bars of Ivory and 8 bars of Fels will make about 1200 loads of laundry for about $35.96).
- Also I bought an inexpensive grater just for the soap. It was suggested to use a food processor but I didn't like doing that.

ALL-NATURAL LAUNDRY DETERGENT (1-YEAR SUPPLY)
This stuff is wonderful! Very economical and perfect for people with sensitive skin/allergies or those who wish to "go green," and it really works! Soap flakes are often available at craft stores. Use whatever essential oils you like. Lavender, orange, lemon, and grapefruit are really nice for laundry. Recipe from one of my husband's classmates.

- DIY Powdered Soap Nuts. This recipes from Eco-Friendly Family looks phenomenal. I have tried soap nuts a few times and still have some leftover from my last Jenuinely Pure review.
- No-Grate Homemade Laundry Detergent. This detergent sounds like a detergent after my own heart! One reason I’ve never delved into making my own homemade laundry detergent was the grating.
- Easy Homemade Laundry Detergent. This one had me at “easy.” But, it does require some soap grating. However, the blogger does make it look not very hard at all–with the use of a food processor.
- Homemade Liquid Soap Nuts. As it suggests, this homemade detergent also uses the perfectly natural soap nuts as its base! Although I believe powdered detergent dissolves better when washing cloth diapers, I actually prefer using a liquid detergent to wash clothes.
- Homemade Castile Laundry Detergent. Here’s another liquid laundry detergent. This one doesn’t require any grating and uses one of my favorite green cleaners–Castile soap!
