Well, yesterday I read about how easy it is to create homemade laundry soap that both saves money and is more green than using regular detergent from stores.
Of course, being a bit adventurous, I decided to give it a try. Bought the supplies I needed and finished the job today.
Seems to most popular method is to create the soap in liquid form and store that in a big container. The other method is to create a powerded version.
I chose the latter, and decided to create me enough to last me a long-long-long time (using 8 bars of ivory soap).
Here is what I followed:
Homemade Laundry Detergent - Simple, Easy, Fast, & Effective
I see that this discussion actually was here on a thread back in 2007 (before I had actually FIRE'd)
