After realizing how easy to make laundry detergent, I have NO idea why it took me so long! I had been wanting to make my own detergent for awhile, but it wasn’t until a few months ago that I made the attempt and I must say it was a huge success!

Seriously, this is so easy! It’s similar to making soap/body wash, so I made a batch of both the other day! I love that it’s budget friendly and chemical free! Win-win!

DIY Laundry Detergent

Ingredients:

2 Bars of Soap (I buy Kirk’s Castile Coconut Oil Soap). You can find this at most Wal-Marts and Targets for around $3.50/3 bars of soap.

3 Cups of Washing Soda

3 Cups of Baking Soda

Optional, but recommended: Essential Oil

Optional: Vinegar

Directions:

Grate both bars of soap.

Mix in washing soda, baking soda, and essential oils

Pour mixture into container and store

Add 1-2 tablespoons to each load of laundry

Optional: Add tablespoon of vinegar to softener section of washer

Things to note:

I bought the baking soda, washing soda, and soap at Wal-Mart

I used 15ish drops each of Citrus Fresh and Purification Young Living oil.

In the past I used a grater to grate the soap, this time I used our food processor and it was SO much easier and faster.

Total time to make: 5 minutes

The cost is .01-.03/load

We use this with our LG front loader washer and it works great!
