Turns out making laundry detergent is not only quick, but kinda fun (and super cheap!).
I used 1/3 bar fels napa, 1/2 c Washing Soda, 1/2 c Borax (and of course, lots of water). It's great b/c you know what is in (and NOT) your detergent & what is going into your water system. I also get all weirded out by washing my clothes in chemically detergent & then wearing them...how is that good for me?
There are a bunch of easy recipes online.
I also started the process for making our own dishsoap. Will finish it tonight b/c I need the bucket I was using for the laundry detergent & it has to sit in the bucket overnight b/4 I move it.
Yay for fun new projects!
PS: Washing Soda is really hard to find. It is not at walmart, home depot, or the superfresh in S.Philly. Think, "where would an old Italian grandma shop?" I got it at the Shoprite in S.Philly.
