Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent Recipe
This has been my go-to detergent for years now! It’s so affordable and easy to make, and it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin like some other detergents do.
Servings 35 cups
Cost $50
Equipment
- Blender
- Kitchen Knife
- Storage Container
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar Soap
- 76 ounces borax
- 55 ounces washing soda
- 2 cups baking soda
- 110 ounces OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover
- 15 ounces Purex Crystals optional
Instructions
- Break down the bars of Fels-Naptha in fine pellets of laundry soap. The pieces need to be small enough that they will dissolve readily in your washing machine.
- Pour the laundry soap pellets, borax, washing soda, baking soda, OxiClean, and Purex Crystals (if using) into a trash bag. Tie it off, put it in another trash bag, and tie off the second bag.
- Roll the bag around the mix, then cut a hole in the corner of both bags and pour the detergent into a big jar or container for storage.
