Homemade laundry detergent- Part 2
Here's part 2 of my homemade detergent adventure :-) I got around today to mix the ingredients for this homemade detergent recipe. Bought my supplies at Walmart: Borax 76 oz (4 lb 12 oz)- $3.38 Washing soda 55 oz (3 lbs 7 oz)-$3.24 Oxygen cleaner 30 oz (1.87 lb)-$1.96 Plastic Jar-$2.97 Measured 4 cups of each and shook it all in the plastic jar. The Oxygen cleaner bucket came with a scoop that measures 2 Tablespoons exactly which is super convenient. To test it I took a bunch of clean but old and dingy while towels and tshirts and threw them in the wash with a scoop ( 2 Tablespoons) of the homemade mix. I added the mix to the warm water first before I threw the clothes in there. The water was clear but as soon as it started to agitate it turned grey YUCK!!. I could not believe this stuff could pull off so much dirt/body oils/detergent buildup out of supposedly clean laundry. I will be doing an extra rinse. Makes me wanna go through the drawers and get all the whites ...
