Laundry Soap & Fabric Softner

For Laundry soap:

3 C. Borax

2 C. Soda Wash

2 C. Baking Soda

2 C. Laundry bar grated up as fine as you can get it.  

Mix it all in a bucket, (it does about 90 loads of laundry)

use 1/8 c. - 1/4 c. per load.

 

To help rinse the soap from your clothes and soften your clothes use vinegar in your rinse cycle instead of store bought fabric softener....your clothes won't smell like vinegar once they dry. You can add it to the dispenser right in your washer. I use the same amount of vinegar as store bought softener.
Why Vinegar? It disinfects your clothes and washing machine, it softens your clothes, It helps keep your colors from fading, it will rinse out any soap residue left from your laundry soap and keeps your clothes from looking dingy....And fabric softener is full of LOTS of toxic chemicals, why would you want that?
I know there are a lot of different ways to make laundry soap but this is what I use and like.
Let me know how you like it!

You can find all this stuff were they sell laundry detergent at the store.

Oh yes, and you want to use a cleaning bar of soap, not body soap. If making your own soap I would use an all coconut oil soap with a 1% superfat formula. Or buy Fels Naptha or Zote soap in the laundry section in the store.
