Making Laundry detergent, is how I spent this afternoon. I found a hints for home site and sent my Ray to my local market to get my supplies. So excited to save a dollar or more. I followed the recipe. The smell was oddly familiar to me. I remember this scent.

I will let you know how it turns out. It has to sit for 24 hours to gel. Here's the recipe for you

1/2 Cup: Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda {not Baking Soda}

1/2 Cup: Borax 

1/3 Bar of Fels-Naptha Soap {you could also use Ivory soap, but if using Ivory… use the whole bar}

Bucket {2 gallon size or larger}

    Empty laundry detergent containers or bucket with lid to store detergent.


You can get step by step directions at link below.  go at it! Have fun
