Lightbulb Non-edible recipes, laundry, household...

Those are the recipes of the detergents that I have been using for over a month now and very satisfied with.


Laundry detergent:


1 bar (3-4 oz) grinded any body soap
1 cup washing soda
1 cup borax
1 cup baking soda

Mix all together and use about 2Tblspoons per load. I won't make lots of bubbles, but will get the job done as good as Purex or Wisk.


Dishwasher detergent:

1 cup baking soda
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda

Use half the amount that required for your dishwasher. Will still get the job done on a well rinsed dishes.


Liquid soap:


1 bar soap grinded
Add a few drops of essential oil or perfume

Put the ingredients in the bowl or a bucket, add 4 cups of very hot water, mix well, then add about 6-8 cups more of warm or cold water, mix well. Pour some in your soap dispensers and save the rest for later refills. 1 bar of soap is way cheaper than a half gallon of a liquid soap. Have anybody tried to make lotion soap? I will experiment and post later how it turned out.
