Homemade Detergent - I’m making it today!
I finally located the ingredients i need to make homemade laundry detergent. Look in the “make your own” category for a recipe I am using.
For anyone who can’t seem to find fels naptha soap, I found it today in the paper plate aisle at Meijers, at the end with the bulk packages of soap. It’s on the top shelf. The other ingredients were in the laundry detergent aisle.
I bought a few bars of soap, and intend to also make some of that nontoxic bug spray and we’ll see how that works.
I’ll give a review when I’ve had the chance to use the detergent and bug spray for a while!

I make my laundry powder with old fashioned lard soap that I make and after shredding it, add washing soda and borax to it and powder it. Works way better the stuff usiing Fels naptha stuff and is much better for your septic system. There is a huge difference between soap and detergent. What I make is laundry soap powder made from natural ingredients.

I’d be interested in hearing your soap recipe and the recipe you use for your laundry!
