Munchkin Momma's Homemade Laundry Detergent

Laundry Detergent:

• 2 cups of Borax

• 2 cups of Washing Soda

• ½ fluid ounce of Liquid Castile Soap

• 1 gallon of boiling water

• 2 gallons of cool water

Step 1: Dissolve Borax and Washing Soda in the boiling water, stir until well dissolved.

Step 2: Add ½ ounce of liquid Castile Soap to the boiling mixture, turn off the heat, and stir until well mixed.

Step 3: Once mixture has cooled some (about 15 minutes) pour it into the 2 gallons of cool water, mix well.

Step 4: Pour into appropriate containers and label.

Step 5: Use ¼ cup per load, can use more for heavily soiled laundry if you like.

Tip: use distilled white vinegar as a fabric softener for soft clothes with less static. It doesn’t take away from the absorbency of things like towels or diapers.
