I wanted to update everyone on the liquid laundry post I had previously done. While I love using my own laundry soap that I have made (and alot cheaper than buying it) the previous recipe was taking too long to do for me after having our son December 2017. I now use a powder recipe that is quicker and just as cheap to make. I also now have a front load washing machine and I have continued to use my powder, detergent with no issues. The recipe is really easy:
1 cup EACH
Borax, Arm and Hammer washing powder, scent beads of your choice and oxi clean (or store brand). Mix together and store in container.
I use a round, tall plastic container I got at Dollar Tree. I normally double my recipe since I do laundry for a family of 5. I don't have to make it as often that way. The last time I bought my detergent supplies I was at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. I didn't want to pay for brand Oxi-Clean and they didn't have a Wal-Mart brand. I was looking through the other stain/whiteners, etc they had and found Purex 2 Stain Fighter for a couple bucks. I figured I'd give that a shot. So far it has been working well. I have a scoop from a previous box of Oxi-Clean and I normally use about a half of that scoop (Maybe 1-2 tablespoons depending on size of load). Another note you don't HAVE to use the stain fighter, however, I have a husband who always drops food on his clothes and I have 3 kids so I always use it.
I would love feedback if you use this recipe. Let me know how it works for you!!
