For years I have wanted to make my own laundry detergent. I pinned recipes and dreamed of the day I would wash my clothes in my own homemade soap. But, procrastination happened, and I kept putting it off. Finally, a moment of inspiration hit me, and I couldn’t wait any longer. I quickly jumped online to order the necessary ingredients. I impatiently waited for everything to arrive, and jumped with joy the day the Amazon box appeared at my door.
I have used this detergent for 6 loads now and can honestly say that I love it! My clothes smell heavenly, and I feel satisfied with the lack of toxic ingredients I am washing them in. There is a small amount of prep, grating a bar of castle soap, but otherwise it is very easy and quick.
Ingredients:
1 bar grated Castille soap- http://amzn.to/2oJRaIf
