5 Simple Steps to Make Your Own Liquid Laundry Soap for Under $1 a gallon!

Did you ever notice how much more expensive your grocery bill is when you have to buy all the cleaning/paper products, and especially laundry detergent?  I would always dread that trip, knowing I would spend and extra $12-$17 on laundry soap.  Thank goodness for my friend Tena who shared this liquid laundry soap recipe with me last year.  She’s been using this for a couple of years now, and neither one of us are even thinking about going back to the expensive stuff with who knows what in the ingredients.  This recipe calls for 3 ingredients, plus water, and makes full 3 gallons at a time.  I recommend getting a 5 gallon bucket and a paint stirrer attachment for a cordless drill (which only cost about $2.)  Our clothes are as clean or cleaner than they have ever been and they smell fresh. You can add essential oils to this if you prefer a certain smell, but I used fabric softener which I think is what gives our clothes a fresh scent. Ingredients: -1/2 cup of Washing Soda -1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax -1/3 bar of Fels Naptha soap that has been grated.
