TIP OF THE WEEK: MAKE YOUR OWN LAUNDRY SOAP!!

On WeUseCoupons, we have excellent forums for DIY Laundry detergent.  It’s not to complicated.  I saw this picture on Pinterest and thought, I really should try this.  This picture was pinned from Being Creative, and is has an excellent recipe for how to do this!!  Here are the ingredients you will need:

1. - One 4 lb 12 oz box Borax (2.15 kg or 76 oz) found in the detergent isle
2. - One 4 lb box Arm n Hammer Baking Soda (1.81 kg) found in the cooking isle
3. - One box Arm n Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz (3 lb 7 oz) found in the detergent isle
4. - Three bars of Fels-naptha soap, found in the detergent isle (or whatever you use)
5. - Two small containers of Oxyclean or store brand Oxyclean (try to get about 3.5 lbs total (1.58 kg)) found in the detergent isle. (this is optional, I added it into mine because I have pretty messy kids and the cleaner the better)
