My friend, Laurie, shared this recipe with me and it is really terrific. It works well and is very inexpensive.
1 c. of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 c. of Borax
1 bar of Fels-Naptha, grated
Laurie says.."Grate the soap and let it dry for a day, then pulse it to a powder, then mix it with the borax and washing soda. I use just 2 Tablespoons in a large (or even extra large) load. "
Enjoy!

Hi! Just a little clarification: grate the soap and let it dry for a day, then pulse it to a powder, then mix it with the borax and washing soda. I use just 2 Tablespoons in a large (or even extra large) load.
ReplyDeleteI can't take credit for this recipe---I didn't make it up. It's on several web sites. I've used it for about a year now and it works quite well! Only rarely do I need to add any laundry boosters, such as generic oxyclean, and only in extra dirty or extra stinky loads.
Love this stuff- I've been using it for 2 1/2 years now! I've never tried drying the soap- I chunk it up then pulse it, then throw in the dry ingredients and pulse again. Good stuff!
