I mentioned in another thread that one of the areas Im cheap in is laundry detergent. I make my own. Its amazing how much junk is in a box of detergent that does nothing for cleaning at all. After asking around, I found this recipe:
1/2 Cup Washing Soda (NOT baking soda.)
1/2 Cup Borax
1 Cup Fels Naptha Soap
Grind it down using a cheese shredder and mix. Simple as that.
Use 1 tablespoon for light loads. 2 tablespoons for heavier loads. (Tablespoon is the right size, its more potent and doesnt need cups of it to work.)
The washing soda can be gotten at Kroger fairly cheaply. The Borax is common in just about any grocery store. I got the Fels Naptha Soap on Amazon. There was a bundle deal for 8 or 10 bars for <$10 including shipping.
Anyone else got some cheap recipes that they want to share?
