Homemade Laundry Detergent & Multi-Purpose Household Cleaner!

For a while now I've been making my own laundry detergent. It saves SO much money and is easy to make and cleans REALLY well!! Lasts a long time too!
This makes a powder detergent.
Use a large plastic container with a lid that seals.
LAUNDRY DETERGENT RECIPE:
1 box Borax
1 box Arm & Hammer Laundry Soap
1 Bar of soap, grated.
1 Lg box baking soda
1 container Oxy-Clean
1 bottle of scent of your choice

Process:
I use a cheese grater and grate my soap. Then begin adding the ingredients into your plastic storage container. I generally add 1/2 then stir it all up with a wooden spoon. Then add the remainder and mix it all up.
For a measuring scoop, I use the one included with the Oxy-Clean. 1-2 of those per wash load.

I also make my own household cleaner! This stuff is awesome and cleans SUPER well!! AND its SUPER simple!!
HOUSEHOLD CLEANER RECIPE:
White Vinegar
Non-Concentrated Dawn Dish Liquid
Process:
Use a spray bottle and add 1/2 Vinegar and 1/2 Dawn





I use it for cleaning my bathrooms, stove top, sinks, grease build-up from the back-splash area behind the stove...even cleaned my walls and ceilings with it. Its gentle but really cleans well.
You can also use it on laundry!! You can use it on the collars of shirts or grease stains...


Also, when I mop my floors I use the same ingredients! To a bucket of warm water add Dawn and Vinegar. I just pour it in without measuring. Depending on how much water I'm making up. I probably add more vinegar than Dawn in this case.
