20 years ago, the popular way to make homemade laundry detergent was just grated Zote soap, Borax, and washing soda.
This one is different. All of the ingredients cost about $30 the first time I made it several months ago. We were getting low but not really anywhere near “out” so I thought I’d buy the ingredients again. This time, they were a little cheaper and totaled $26. They are:
One tub of oxy
1 and a half bars of Zote soap grated. Kevin helped with this since I had some hand pain, and he laughed at himself the whole time.
One box of borax
One box of washing soda
One four pound box of baking soda
One tub of scent boosters
The oxy comes with a scoop. Use this scoop to scoop the detergent. Only use 1/3-1/2 of the scoop depending on how soiled everything is. The lady online said this lasts her a year and she has five kids. She doubles it though.
I've heard of making your own but never tried it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would save money by doing this, but since there's only two of us in the house now one Costco-sized jug of liquid detergent lasts a long time.
ReplyDeleteGood way to save money!
