How To Make Your Own Laundry Detergent

thesimpledollar.com — I’ve been experimenting with making lots of cleaning supplies at home, but this one is by far the craziest - and the most successful. Basically, I made a giant bucket of slime that works incredibly well as laundry detergent at a cost of about three cents a load. For comparison’s sake, a jumbo container of Tide at Amazon.com costs $28.99 for 96 load

  • moneysaver126, on 02/14/2008, -0/+0I've been doing this for years. I found it at Mary Hunt's website named Debtproofliving.com and she has many good tips. The detergent doesn't fade your clothes and gets everything very clean. Sure saves a lot of money...
  • moneysaver126, on 02/14/2008, -0/+0I wanted to add that I pour mine into empty containers before it gels. I leave a little headroom so I can shake the container before using it. I also add some liquid body spray--about 10oz from the dollar store---for fragance. If you add 3/4 cup of Dawn dishwashing liquid that will help cut any grease that may be in the clothes. My batch usually makes 5 plastic containers. For full loads I use 3/4 cup and 1/2 cup for small loads.
