Рецепт Homemade Laundry Detergent
There are recipes for homemade laundry detergent all over Pinterest. I think it is almost as popular as chevron. LOL! However, I've had several requests from readers and neighbors to share the recipe that I use, so I thought I should oblige. I have been making this homemade laundry detergent for over a year, and I can honestly say that is works just as well for me as the spendy stuff I used to buy.
I have four active boys and a toddler, and I have been very happy with the cleanliness of our clothes. Seriously.
I will tell you though that I still use Tide with Bleach (or bleach) with my all white batches like the white church shirts and white dish towels. But other than that, I use this stuff on everything from jeans to towels to delicates. And it gets them all clean.
I know some of you will ask how it smells. Basically it just makes your clothes smell clean. Now I'm kind of a psycho when it comes to laundry, and I like everything scented. Like a lot. If you have four boys, you might understand why. ;) I use Downy, because I love having my clothes (and especially my sheets), smell amazing. But that is just me.
Tried and Tested Homemade Laundry Detergent
1 bar Fels Naptha soap, grated
- 1 cup Borax
- 1 cup washing soda
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1 cup Oxiclean
Place the grated Fels Naptha in your blender, then pour the remaining ingredients on top. Blend till it resembles coarse sand. Pour into a container with a lid. I have soft water and a front loading washing machine, and I use about a Tablespoon of detergent per batch. Usually less. For sheets and towels that don't actually get "dirty", I use about half that. For clothes that come home from overnight scout campouts in the smoke/mud/grass/whatever I use a little more. I've never used more than a tablespoon and a half.
Note: This detergent doesn't make a lot of suds, so it is great for HE washing machines.
