HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT || Cost effective || Lasts for a year || Easy recipe

Hey everyone! In today's video I'm going to show you how to make homemade laundry detergent. It costs around $35 and lasts for a whole year!! It's so easy to make too! Let's do this!

Homemade Laundry Detergent:

3 (5 oz.) bars Fels-Naptha laundry bar
13 cups (110 oz.) box of Oxi clean stain remover
1 (76 oz.) box of Borax
2 cups baking soda
1 (55 oz.) box Washing Soda
OPTIONAL:
1-2 bottles Purex Crystals in wash fragrance (in your scent of choice) I love the Lavender scent

Break down bars of Fels-Naptha. Pieces need to be small enough to dissolve in the washing machine. Grate the bars then put in the food processor or blender until it resembles sand-like texture. Combine all the ingredients in a garbage bag. Tie the bag, then place into another garbage bag and tie tight. Mix, mix, mix!!
Transfer to a bucket or glass 2 gallon jar.

HOW MUCH TO USE: Regular load=2 TBSP.
Large load=2 1/2 TBSP.
Small load=1 1/2 TBSP.
Pour right into the washer, not the dispenser. Safe for HE washers!

I’ve been making this exact recipe for over 10 years. Now my adult children ask to make this for their homes. In fact, we just had a soap party last night🥳

Awesome recipe! Made this over half a year ago and there's still a decent amount left, very sudsy in warm water and cleans great without leaving any residue! I used to have to buy a $18 bottle of liquid detergent every two weeks, this recipe has saved me a fortune!

This is the second time of making my laundry detergent! I love the way it softens my water thus making cleaner clothes! Thank you for sharing!

I just made this!!! Started my first load a few minutes ago. I can't wait to see how well it works 😍

[RichelleHudson-ij]

My son just made this and he loves it. He gave me some to try and I was really impressed. Looking forward to making my own!

Absolutely love this option! I have sensitive skin and using this has made my life easier. Most beautiful scent I have ever smelled and it lasts soooo long. Have been struggling with these in store brands because nothing keeps the smell. I also noticed stains that were on my sons clothes from months/ week prior came out within one wash! I've had it for about a month and still a big jar full.

I also use white vinegar for my rinse cycle. No more fabric softener! Better for your clothes. It does not leave a vinegar smell.

I've made this for years. I love it.

You need to have a bar soap to add. If its to difficult to find the Felds Naptha bars, as I did, you can use *regular Ivory bars, Linda bars by Aurora, Sunlight detergent bars, plus you'll find lots of options online. You can find a beautiful jar at a second hand store. I found a 1/2 gallon antique green glass pickle jar at a yard sale for $5, and I love it! It looks great, and keeps the laundry detergent dry or from clumping. I made a double batch of this during Covid..and am still using it!

I made it with Unstopables. Love the smell. Everything gets clean. Making another batch now. Thanks.

I made this yesterday ! Washed clothes with it 2 times already, but the clothes don't come out smelling as fresh as the detergent. I added 2 full bottles of Purex Crystals too !

[CherylOberlitner]

I have used this same recipe for years. It’s great!!!

[beckystone]

Thank you so much, I just found your channel!! God bless 🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

[OctoberFrost]

Great instructions and great recipe. Question though, do have soft water or hard water?

[shreecolbert]

Thank you so mych much for this!! Miss your videos!

[Akosua]

Does it have to be stored in glass? Can I store it in a cardboard box like an old tide box?

[RoseAndAnvilTavernASMR]

Can I use Zote white soap flakes? I don't have a food processor.

[gailbrown]

What does the baking soda do is it needed

[glendajones]

Would like to know if you use the bead type freshener if you have to wash clothes in warm water or if you can wash in cold water.

I have made this for many years. For the two of us it actually lasts over two years.
