Laundry Soap

Coy and I are on a mission to save money...

I did so much research on where we can save as much as possible. I found hundreds of ways to save and I started in the laundry room.

Ingredients:

1 cup Borax

1 cup washing soda

1 bar of soap (I used dove)

Grate the entire bar of soap and mix all ingredients in a bowl. Place mixture into whatever container you like. I used a mason jar.

1-1.5 tablespoons per load. This recipe makes 64 loads and can be used in a HE washer.

Savings:

1 box (76oz) Borax= $3.99

1 box (55oz) washing soda= $9

8 Dove soap bars= $8.79

=$21.78

This will make 6 batches with left over bars and borax. 384 loads.

1 box of Borax= 9.5 batches at $0.42 per batch.

1 box washing soda= 6 batches at $1.50 per batch.

Dove bars= 8 batches at $1.09 per batch.

= $3.01 for 64 loads!! $0.047 per load.

Tide 96 loads= $17.99

I figure we do 60 loads a month with 6 people. Just an estimate. That's 720 loads a year. To achieve 720 loads with Tide you would need 7.5 96 load jugs. That is $134.93 a year. For a years supply or 11.25 batches of this mixture it would be $33.86!

That's over $100 in savings a year!!

You would need multiple boxes of borax and washing soda. And more bars of soap but You will have extra left over. I will post more recipes with these products so they don't go to waste.

1 load is in the wash now... I'll update when done.

Enjoy!
