LAUNDRY SOUP

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Meant to say SOAP. (This is when you know you have a problem.)

I met another dear Laura at one of the Costco signings and she was kind enough to share the recipe for a “practical easy way” to make homemade laundry soup soap. (Such a weirdo.)

5 cups Borax

5 cups washing soda

2 bars Fels Naptha Soap, grated (Grated like cheese? Laura said yes.)

5 cups Oxi Clean or Purex.

Mix soaps together and use 2 Tablespoons per load. Laura said that this should last a long time and is cheap and easy to make.

Lizzie and I worked together to mix up a double batch. Grating the bars of soap was crazy but it worked.

I’m curious to see how this soap works and I’m curious about the cost. Just haven’t had the time to figure it all out. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
