Homemade Liquid Laundry Detergent
5 gallons of hot water
1 Fels-Naptha Soap Bar
1 c. washing soda (not baking soda but washing soda)
1/2 c. borax
Directions:
Grate soap into a saucepan with 4 c. (out of the 5 gallons) of hot water and dissolve over med-high heat.
Fill a 5 gallon bucket 1/2 full of hot tap water and add melted soap, borax, and washing soda. Stir until dissolved. (Stir it very well)
Fill bucket to the top with more hot water.
Stir, and cover and let sit over night. It will thicken.
*Optional 10-15 drops of essential oil (lavendar, rosemary, etc.) Stir this in just before you cover. Or fragrance oil works too. You can actually get tide, or clean linen fragrance oils online for pretty inexpensive or try walmart.
*Makes 5 gallons. Top loaders use 1/4 cup per load (Approx. 180 loads)-Front Load Machines- 1/8 Cup per load (Approx. 640 loads). If you have the extra large top loaders you will need to use more, or add a little more soda and borax.
The cost for supplies is initially: 1 box of borax about $2.50, 1 box of Washing soda about $3.10, 1 Bar of Fels Naptha $1.09. There’s enough borax to make about 25 Gallons in one box, and the washing soda to make about 25 gallons also.
The total cost per batch is: Borax: $.50, Washing Soda $.60, Fels Naptha $1.09. for a total of $2.19 for 5 Gallons which makes enough for about 180 loads so less than $0.02 per load.
This works great for your 1 year supply because you can store it dry. For example, our family would only have to store 1 box of Borax and one box of washing soda and 3 bars of the Fels Naptha. (Assuming you can get clean water).
