Make Your Own Powdered Laundry Detergent-- Works Fabulous!

Lately, I have been exploring and tinkering with making my own everything. I have made my own seasoning, stain remover, bubbles, play dough, and more. I have decided to try making my own laundry detergent and I am so glad that I did! I spent around $8.00 for all of the ingredients, which makes multiple batches of this recipe-- talk about cheap laundry detergent! It is easy to make, all you have to do is a little grating and measuring and you have your very own homemade laundry detergent that is not only cheap, but it works fabulous! My families clothes look great! Another great thing about this detergent is that it is very mild, so it is great for sensitive skin! I do at least one load of laundry a day and I am still using the same container I made a couple months ago! It really goes a long way!!

Save some money and try it out for yourself!

Make Your Own Laundry Stain Remover!

 

Making your own laundry detergent seems to be the craze lately.  I have all of the ingredients I need, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Part of the reason that it is not top priority is that I have like six more bottles of laundry detergent on reserve. Last night, I ran out of stain remover-- in a house of all males, stain remover is a necessity. I decided to search for a recipe to make my own on Pinterest. I found one that I had everything that I needed to make it. All I needed was an empty spray bottle, some blue Dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. I mixed 1 part of Dawn to 2 parts hydrogen peroxide in the spray bottle. I sprayed it on the stain, saturating the area, and let it sit for a few minutes and threw it in the washing machine. This stain remover works great! It got all of my stains out, even some that were old! Try it for yourself!
