We make our own laundry detergent. This is the recipe we use. The piggies and I have sensitive skin and this is such an awesome detergent for us. No more breaking out from a change in the detergent.
Laundry Detergent
Ingredients:
1 - 4 lb 12 oz box Borax
4 - 1 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
3 bars of Fels-Naptha soap
2 small containers of Oxy Clean (I use the store brand, try to get about 3.5 lbs total)
Directions:
This detergent is fairly mild smelling, it is not over powering. Great for sensitive skin.
Start out by grating your Fels-Naptha soap just like cheese. (Rainbow grates the Fels-Naptha soap for us, she usually sits out on the porch to do this. She uses the best grater that we found at IKEA.)
Toss all of the ingredients in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. We use a wooden paddle to stir the ingredients together.
Use 1/8 cup of detergent per load. You'll love it!
