Laundry Detergent

I am so routine about laundry on Saturday mornings.  I don't know why, but that is when it has to be done.

Today, I need to make some more detergent, and I am sure there are many recipes out there that are the same or similar, but here it goes:



I bar of Ivory
1/2 cup of Borax
1/2 cup of Baking Soda, most recommend washing soda, but I don't need to see suds to know my clothes are getting clean.

Grate the bar of soap and mix all the other ingredients and you have detergent.

Place one tablespoon of detergent in the washer, fill with water to give the detergent time to dissolve and put your laundry in and you are set to go.

You can adjust the amount by the size of load or if you have really soiled clothes.

Simple right?
