It might seem like a lot of work to make homemade, natural laundry soap, but I am here to say that it couldn't be easier. It is one of my top priorities as a mom to make my family healthier and save money while doing it. I love being a stay-at-home mom and coming up with ways to save money. This is a great way to save money and have long lasting, safe to use laundry soap.
All of my children have suffered from eczema at one time or another in their life. I have found that using natural laundry detergent helps prevent their skin from rashes associated with eczema. You can make a separate batch without the Purex for sensitive skin.
We use and love this recipe! I store it in a big bucket, but I put our every day supply in the empty Pured Crystals container and use the Pured lid (filled tongue first line) as my measuring cup for each load. This recipe lasts my family of five about a year!
ReplyDeleteI also saved my Purex bottle for the same reason. Right now I am using a large bucket to store it and a small bucket for the laundry room (see pic) and the oxy scoop as my scooper. I love this "recipe"
DeleteWhoops...Pured should be Purex. Silly auto correct ;)

ReplyDeleteI always wondered if it was cost effective to make your own. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I always wonder things like that, too. I wanted to take any of the doubt away.
