You truly can find just about -any- classic book for it for free somewhere. I can't recommend it enough.

It cleans well and is cheap. I store a double batch in a Rubbermaid tub in the basement and keep refilling my jar as needed. If you miss the smell of laundry detergent you can purchase a small bottle of cheap laundry soap and add to the mixture for a little burst of scent.<br /><br />I've found all three ingredients at a very small town mercantile, but not at our local big box store. Stock up when you find it, especially the Fels Naptha.

Hmmm...now I'm wondering if I should be using more! It is a bit of work, but one bucket lasts our family of five for two-three months, including cloth diapers. If you have trouble finding washing soda or fels-naptha, try smaller grocery stores. I can't find either at big box mart here, but our local chain carries both.melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637174816423519588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22397360.post-6650190523753313902010-02-25T12:12:54.117-05:002010-02-25T12:12:54.117-05:00I use the gel form and have for a year.

My box of borax and washing soda have lasted me a year. Since their combined price together at my Kroger was about $5, its a price that can't be beat. I store mine in a 5 gallon bucket with lid (icing bucket I got at bakery, free for asking). My mom also saves me her laundry detergent bottles and I fill them up with my homemade detergent. Its less messy than the bucket and measuring cup method.Greg and Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971301563589708491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22397360.post-38923661837594029972010-02-25T11:03:40.803-05:002010-02-25T11:03:40.803-05:00According to the website the liquid (gel) is way c...According to the website the liquid (gel) is way cheaper than making the powder (3 cents vs. 15 cents per load) so I think I'll try that.
