Dishwasher and Laundry Detergent

These are very popular and work well. I so love saving lots and lots of money. Try them out and see for yourself!

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent

 

1 cup Super Washing Soda (Arm & Hammer)

1 cup Borax 20 Mule Team

½ cup Kosher Salt

½ cup Citric Acid (or unsweetened lemonade)

 

Put in jar and shake. Use 1 tablespoon per load. I make a little packet of rice tied in some tulle and place with the powder to prevent caking.  +eBay has some great prices for the Citric Acid.

 

Homemade Laundry Soap

 

2 oz. Grated Fels Naptha soap

3 pints water

½ cup Washing Soda

½ cup Borax 20 Mule Team

1 quart hot water

 

Grate soap and cook with 3 pints of water until soap is melted. Stir in Borax and washing soda till thickened. Pour hot water into 2 gallon bucket add soap mixture. Top with more water to make 2 gallons. Cool 24 hours then mix well and turn into two old laundry soap containers or what you may have on hand. Shake before using. Works great in HE machines. This laundry soap works great in cold water. If you have a well without a water softener I add ¼ cup of kosher salt. For an extra boost I add some dollar store booster. 1/2 cup usually does it. Use as usual.

 

Enjoy!
