Laundry Soap
I've discovered homemade laundry soap. The Dugger family (19+ kids) supposedly uses this. I just hated paying $16-18 dollars for 100 ounces of HE laundry detergent. Three simple ingredients plus water. It says you can make this for about 40 cents a load, but by my calculations, it is much, much less than that - like just a couple of pennies a load! The recipe makes 2 gallons. I paid about $8 for the ingredients, but with the little you use of the borax and washing soda, those two ingredients alone will last years!! This morning, I am washing everything in sight, trying to decide if I like it. I do. The soap mixture itself smells a little funky. I added some lavender oil, but can't really tell if that makes a difference. The clothes come out only smelling fresh, not funky. I can add a nice smell with liquid softener, or softener sheets. Yes, I like it. I love being frugal. If anyone wants the recipe, email me, or I am sure you can find it if you google it.

I would love to have this recipe. I too am trying to find ways to save money and laundry detergents are so expensive nowadays.
Ok send me the recipe. I want to try it as well. The cost I love and the fact it is HE compatible is even better.
