I'm almost a convert...

For over a year now I've been creeping stalking following blogs with recipes for homemade laundry detergent.  For over a year now I haven't made any because I've been too lazy too busy questioning procrastinating researching... Finally picked up some ingredimaments (♥ Rabbit from Winnie-the-Pooh!) from my local grocery.  

I've washed 4 loads with this so far. First load I used 1/4 cup. The last three I used 1/8 cup & still had good results. The ultimate cleanliness test will come when I launder my all-white bath towels.

I am a little concerned about static (which is why I adore fabric softener in our hard, hard water) so I'm withholding judgment on that issue for right now.

This is the recipe & method I used:



2 bars of this, shredded



1 cup




1 cup




1 cup

 
I whirled all 4 ingredients in food processor until the soap shreds were unrecognizable.  I put the powder in a jar & dispensed as mentioned above. 

I was waiting for suds to appear & they never showed up. Therefore, it came as a great surprise that the clothing exited the washer looking clean without any noticeable scent. YEA!
