Michael has allergies to strange things and we’ve been buying tide for years now. This soap lasts about the same amount of time as $17.95 worth of tide. This is significant at our house with 9 people doing laundry!
Normally on Saturday I do the netflix marathon, eat chocolate and Michael waits on me hand and foot, but this week I decided to Get Stuff Done!
Homemade Powdered Laundry Soap
1 box zote $2.54
1 ½ cup baking soda $0.75
1 ½ cup washing soda (found in the grocery store with the stain removers) $1.00
1 ½ cup Borax $0.75
30 drops lavender essential oil or lemon or combo 🙂 $1.00
Total: $6.04
Instructions
Dump the soap shreds in a bowl. Add other ingredients and mix to combine. The essential oil is completely optional, but does create a lovely natural (and non-headache inducing) scent.
Store in a jar or other container. We use 1 heaping tablespoon per load
