Homemade Laundry Detergent
Posted on 12:09 pm
Here’s my first attempt at Homemade powdered laundry detergent.
I used
- 1 bar of Fels Naptha soap
- 1.5 cups of Borax
- 1.5 cups of Washing Soda
The recipe I used called for 1/2 cup each of the borax and washing soda, but I felt like there was too much fels naptha, so I tripled it. We’ll see how that works out.
Here’s the recipe link I used. http://www.debtfreeadventure.com/2009/06/simple-easy-fast-effective-jabs-homemade-laundry-detergent/

Way to go! You’re going to love it.
Good decision on increasing the amounts of borax & washing soda – the original recipe was for use with a 4oz. bar of Ivory soap… Fels Naptha bars are quite a bit bigger & more dense. I think the amounts you used should work great… and if you experience any issues w/them, just keep playing with it!
You should try the dishwasher detergent recipe next, that one works GREAT too!
Cheers.
