Job & I have been married 5 1/2 years. Our son Reid turned one in November & our second baby is due October 2nd. I'm an RN turned SAHM (except 3 days a month I work in the ER). I started this blog to write about my obsession with thrifty finds, attempting to enjoy cooking, decorating our home, & about our family along the way.

Homemade Laundry Detergent

This is the very popular recipe for laundry detergent floating around on Pinterest!  
This is the link to the original post.

 1 4 lb 12 oz box Borax found in the detergent isle
1 4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda found in the cooking isle
1  box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz found in the detergent isle
3 bars of Fels-naptha soap, found in the detergent isle (My Kroger didn't have this but Wal-Mart did)
2 small containers of oxyclean or store brand oxyclean (try to get about 3.5 lbs total found in the detergent isle.
 

Grate 3 all 3 bars of soap with cheese grater or food processor.  
I then poured everything in trash bag and mixed it well.

Then I poured it in this container & it fit perfectly.  I use the scoop that came with the OxyClean and use one rounded scoop/load.
I spent about $17.  The lady who originally made this said her batch lasted around 9 months doing around 8 loads per week!
