How-To: Homemade Laundry Detergent

Ingredients

• 1 bar of grated bar soap (Homemade or natural store bought)
• 1 cup of washing soda
• 1 cup of borax (or additional washing soda)
• 20 drops of Lemon or Lime Essential Oils
• Optional: 1 cup of Oxygen Booster

Instructions

1. Grate the soap using a hand grater or food processor. Grate into fine particles so it dissolves easily.
2. Carefully mix with the washing soda and borax (use gloves or a spoon as these can by drying if used directly on skin)
3. Add essential oils and stir.
4. Store in an air-tight glass jar.

Use 1-2 tablespoons per load. Add 1 tablespoon of Oxygen booster if needed . . . I use this on white loads.
