[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I paid $10 for supplies to make my own laundry soap last year . I just ran out of one of them. I think you're spending way too much on laundry soap even with coupons. Plus you're adding crap to the landfil. If you really want to be proud, tasked this clipping thing to the next level and go green. See how little stuff you can buy instead of how much you can buy for so little.[/quote]

What a great idea!  What recipe did you use?  Did you like how it worked?

I see this recipe:

Pour in the borax, washing soda, and pot of soap; stir until dissolved. 4. Cover the bucket and let the mixture sit for 24 hours. The mixture will be a little clumpy, so give it a good stir before using.[/quote] I'm happy with it. My clothes don't look dingy or anything as far as I can tell. I make powdered soap with borax, washing soda, make some baking soda if I think of it and a bar of soap. Most recipes call for ivory or fels naptha (sp?) but I didn't care for the scent of the ivory. I was using the sunshine bar from Whole Foods (they have those random bars of soap on a table) but they discontinued the scent I like so this last batch I used Mrs. Myers bar in lavender scent.I grate the bar of soap with my kitchen aid grater and then mix 1C of the powders and the grated soap together and run that through the blender and it comes out nice and powdery. It takes me about 10-15 min start to finish. You use 1 T of the powder per load though I usually add more. I make mine in small batches of 1 C of the borax and washing soda but you could make bigger batches if you didn't want to make soap as often.[/quote]
