I just started making my own laundry soap. It’s easy and very cheap. I used to pay over $10 for Tide Free, now I make 10 gallons at a time for pennies.

So what’s the recipe? :)

This is mine: 1 bar Fels-Naptha, grated, 2 cups washing soda, 2 cups Borax. Pulse together in a food processor. 1 tbsp. small loads, 2 tbsp. large loads.

On granny's ongoing frugality thread I learned that you can use a small amount of DAWN dishwashing detergent instead of laundry detergent -- and it works just fine. The original poster said to be very careful to not use very much, because one doesn't want oversudsing.

However, I don't use it when washing NICE newer clothing, then I go with the Tide/Downey combo; however, it's been months since I started using the DAWN, and I'm still working on the same bottle, and haven't purchased any laundry detergent since last summer.

Could you share a recipe or website? Sounds like something I would like to learn.

Thanks
