Here is the most exciting(well to me) post I’ve read all week. It’s from the Trent at the Simple Dollar on how to make your own laundry detergent. I was so moved that I went out and bought all the needed ingredients.
Here is one reason why I love to read comments. I really don’t want to do a liquid laundry detergent mainly because it would be really hard to store it and to keep the curious 2-year-old from playing in it. Someone shares their ‘recipe’ for powdered laundry detergent. It calls for soap flakes. I couldn’t find those at the local store. I even checked the craft section thinking they might be located where soap making supplies might be.
So, I just bought some regular bars of soap. I had the idea of trying to either blend it or chop it to see if I can make my own soap flakes. I do plan to video my efforts to see how well it works.
I spent less than $5 on the ingredients to make my own laundry detergent. Since I’m unsatisfied with my current brand, I’m excited to see how my homemade detergent will actually work. I have a ton of laundry to do this week, so I will ample opportunity to test it out.
