Homemade Laundry Soap?

Wendy18 · 03-31-2009, 06:30 AM

Has anyone tried making their own laundry soap? If so, what do you think? I think I'm going to give it a try. I already have a couple bars of Fels Naptha and I found the washing soda yesterday at Publix. The only thing I forgot to get was the Borax. Just wondering if anyone else had done this.

I have and am going to start again in my own place. I love it. i add a few drops of oils to mine though to make it smell good but It still makes the clothes smell fresh either way.also ALOT cheaper to make your own.

I made some and have been using it...i decided to mainly use it on mine or the kids clothes since they dont get TOO dirty very often. However, I tried on DH's clothes and I dont think its strong enough. But even then...only buying one thing of detergent for DH's stuff is still a good deal.
