New laundry detergent recipe!! Almost as good as Tide!

[tiredmomfor2]

I have been working with my detergent recipe along with one of my friends. and we have come up with an awesome recipe.

Super stain remover laundry detergent:

You will need,

One container with a lid that can hold 3 gallons of water.

One large sauce pan,

2 gallons of hot tap water

1 cup washing soda

1 1/2 cups borax

1 21/2 cups powder Clorox2 ( or store brand equivalant) if you use liquid it doesnt mix together right.

1 bar Ivory soap ( or what ever soap you prefer, just nothing too scented)

In sauce pan place 1 1/2 inches of water and grate bar soap in. Heat until melted then slowly add the washing soda, borax , and the Clorox2 and stir until disolved. pour the mixture into the two gallons of water in the container with the lid.

Stir and let stand with the lid off over night or until gelled. Use approxomately 1/4 - 1/3 a cup of detergent to a load of laundry. It waorks almost as good as Tide with bleach!! And it costs less than $6.00 to make 64 loads.

Oh and another laundry secret...... if you hubby works around grease and grime?or you little ones get super dirty?  add about 1/4 cup of Dawn dish detergent to the wash when you add the laundry detergent.

I used to have to do this when i used store brand detergent and with my first batch of homemade laundry detergent. But since I have made this super batch I havent needed it. My hubby is a mechanic and he gets pretty dirty too.

But if any of you try it let me know!
