Green Tip of the Day

Ever heard of making your own laundry detergent. This recipe I found online and I have used it before. I actually find the smell very attractive so it still has a scent to it and it works great on clothes.

Ingredients you'll need:
-1/3 Fels Naptha soap- This soap was pretty hard to find. You will have to look around to find this kind of soap because its not sold at all stores.
-1/2 cup Arm and Hammer Washing soda- This is NOT baking soda this is stuff you use to wash clothes with. You would be able to find this in the detergent aisle.
-1/2 cup Borax- This also should be found in the detergent aisle.
-2 gallon size bucket
*Can add 10-15 drops of essential oils if you want a different smells

The hardest thing of the recipe is finding the Fels Naptha soap so you will definately have to look around for that. Ok so now its making the soap part.

Directions:

First you will get the Fels Naptha soap and take a saucepan and heat the soap up in the saucepan. This soap smells really good so it will make your whole house smell amazing! Add 6 cups of water and heat it until soap melts. Add the washing soda and the Borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Pour 4 cups of hot water into bucket. Now add your soap mixture. Next add 1 gallon of water plus 6 cups of water and stir. Leave for 24 hours until it gels together.

*Use 1/2 cup per load
