You may have seen my post about making Liquid Laundry Soap. Almost two years later, I am finally getting around to adding my Powdered Laundry Soap Tutorial. (About time!)
Honestly, I prefer this powdered recipe over the liquid one.. either way, they both save money.
Ingredients to gather:
Washing Soda (I use Arm & Hammer)
Borax (20 Mule Team Laundry Booster)
Fels Naptha (stain pre-treatment bar)
It shouldn’t be too hard to find the ingredients at your local grocery. If you can’t find something, you can always order it online.
Grate about 2 cups of the Fels Naptha.
One cup each of the Laundry Booster and Washing Soda.
We had some clumps, so we took a fork and broke up any clumps (tiny ones we didn’t worry about).
Add in the Fels Naptha (if you haven’t already). Mix together well.
I divided the recipe into 2 smaller containers with lids.. with lids on tightly, I handed over to my helpers, who shook the containers until all ingredients were well mixed.
I did not add any essential oils or fragrance to this recipe. If I wanted a fragrance added, I’d put around 15 to 20 drops in with the Fel Naptha and coat it well, then spread on a lined cookie sheet to dry over night. Then add that the rest of the mixture and mix well.
To use: 1 to 2 Tablespoon(s) per load.
