yeah yeah, another post that everybody is doing...i saw this about 6 months ago...i read about it over and over...it has such mixed reviews....people either love it or hate it basically...since i love saving money, it was something that i wanted to try....
 |
| 1st...grate a bar of zote soap...very fine...i let mine dry for a couple of days after it's grated....after it dries out some put it in food processor...makes it easier to mix and melt in washer |
 |
| 2nd...measure out 1 cup of borax washing detergent |
 |
| 3rd...measure out 1 cup of washing soda..not baking soda |
 |
| 4th...measure out 1/4 cup of oxi clean powder |
 |
| 5th...1 cup of purex crystals...i put this in my food processor to make it finer.... |
|
mix everything together...i use between 1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons per load....not sure how great it is cleaning....things don't stink when they come out...i never have used tide or any of the expensive detergents so i can't compare with those...i always buy detergent when it goes on sale and when i have a coupon....i have even bought the detergent from the dollar tree...they have some that does 32 loads...so basically comparing to what i have used in the past, it works just as good...i also have very hard water so my whites aren't always true white...i do wash them separately though so they aren't that dingy....i don't use bleach either....i have a front loader HE washer and this works fine in it...no residue left on clothes either....i can not remember how much the borax or arm & hammer was...the zote was .99 and the purex was around $1 - $2 with a coupon....

| here is my not so fancy detergent jar from walmart...i keep fabric sheets in the other one |
|
i must mention, we have 6 people here...i do alot of washing....so if i saved anything i'm doing good...for now i'll keep using it...will see how it goes...
EDIT: I did not care for this recipe...even with putting the purex in it, i did not not feel like my clothes smelled fresh....please look at my newest post on another recipe...it works way better in my opinion
Peace, Love, & Joy

This is getting popular isn't it? I made this but without the oxy-clean a few weeks ago. Love the Purex but didn't have a coupons so it was pretty expensive...Thanks for comment on bunk beds! I'm pretty excited!
