Homemade

I made my own Laundry detergent. It was so easy. and inexpensive. and easy. I've done a few loads with it. So far, so good! I don't have any complaints from the clientele.
Here is the recipe:

1 bar of FelsNaptha soap
1 cup borax
1 cup arm and hammer WASHING soda (not to be confused with baking soda)

grate the bar soap. Then toss it in the food processor to get it as chopped up as you can. Then simply mix it with the borax and washing soda and wala! you have laundry detergent. Two tablespoon per load will do the trick.
Not sure if it is septic safe yet. I will have to research that before we move into our new house. That's right. After 5 long years of renting in this lovely house on 3rd St we will be moving into our own house! Let the happy dance commence! I will be down grading to a laundry "hall" instead of "room" but that's ok, I think I'll manage with the lovely new-er washer and dryer included in the deal.
