I've been into this whole, you're-engaged-so-learn-to-be-a-wife thing. Lately, I've been noticing areas in which money is being OVERspent. One of the areas I've seen is in the realm of laundry. I cannot stand how much laundry detergent costs! plus, if you want to buy something natural--Heaven forbid, it costs a small fortune! Upon researching, I found out a remedy to this problem!
3 ingredient laundry detergent:
What you need:
1 cup Borax
1 cup Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (not to be confused with baking soda)
1 bar of soap (Ivory or Fels Naptha), shredded (using a cheese shedder or zester)
Cheese grater or zester ^^
blender or food processor
large bowl
1 seal tight container
yields about 32 oz or about 60 loads.
Directions:
1. Shred the soap with cheese grater into large bowl
2. Add 1 cup Borax and 1 cup washing soda.
3. Mix liberally into mixing bowl
4. scoop about 1 cup at a time into blender (after 1 cup is done, add to the container, and so on)
Use about 1-2 tbsp per load depending on size. Voila! Money saver! All of the ingredients together cost as much as a premade detergent but cost about 1/5 of the cost per load. Hello!!
Let me know how it goes!
