I have started to use my own homemade laundry soap. Its not only cheaper but there isn't a bunch of chemicals that are washing and sticking into your clothes. I was at Walmart yesterday and just for giggles I priced a big thing of liquid Tide and it was 20 dollars. As much as I would like to have got it but I'm a stay at home mom who has to make a penny stretch. There for I picked up the washing soda and borax along with the ivory soap. All in all it didn't cost me more then 7 dollars and I will get why more loads out of it then the Tide. If you cant find the washing soda I would suggest getting it online due to baking soda just doesn't work the same. I use washing soda for the dishwasher and cleaning carpets also. There are many uses for the borax as well.
Laundry Soap
2c. Washing Soda
2c. Borax
1 bar of ivory soap graded on a cheese grader
After you grade the soap crumble it up some more with your hands. This way they soap will dissolve faster in the washer. Add the other ingredients and put into a container. I use 1/4 c for every load. I do add softener to it to give it yummy smells.
