My last post on what love is not was long and deep (I am clearly passionate about my love for Brian ha) so i thought that something laid back was needed today. What’s more laid back than laundry talk??? KIDDING! I’m pretty passionate about hating laundry but anything DIY always makes my life more fun so maybe it will help you too.
We all know that quality laundry soap is expensive and when you’re a growing family of 6, you go through ALOT of it. This DIY batch of laundry detergent is not only affordable but it smells absolutely incredible and lasts significantly longer than other soaps. It lasts longer because it makes a large amount of product and you don’t even use half of the standard amount for other soaps each load of laundry. One batch lasts 6ish months. I highly recommend trying it. It’s amazing.
Here is what you’ll need:
1 - container of laundry enhancer (I use Downy Unstopables or Purex Crystals)
1 - box of Arm & Hammer baking soda
1 - box of Arm & Hammer washing soda
2 - pink Zote bars (You have to grate these bars with a cheese grater)
1 - tub of Oxy Clean
1 - box of Borax
1 - large sealable container to mix/store it all in
The Oxy Clean comes with a scooper and that’s what you use to distribute the soap into your washing machine. A little less than half of the scooper is what i use. You can see the line drawn on it in the picture for reference.
