  • Homemade Laundry Detergent, is it worth it?

    The ingredients are Fels Naptha laundry soap, borax and washing soda.  Prices vary according to store. The prices you see below are approximate.  

    Fels Naptha soap at $0.99 per bar.  The recipe calls for 1/3 bar. 

    Washing Soda at $2.99 for a 55 ounce box.  The recipe calls for 1/2 cup or 4.2 ounces.  

    Borax at $3.99 for a 76 ounce box.  The recipe calls for 1/2 cup or 3.5 ounces. 

    Divide, multiply, and add.  It all comes out to $0.74 for 2 gallons of detergent.  Using 1/2 cup per load, you should be able to do 64 loads. Bringing the cost to $0.01 per load.  That is a great deal!  Don't ya think?

    My container holds a little over two gallons.  As you can see, I'll have to make some more detergent soon.
