Making Liquid Laundry Soap - How to
We finally ran out of laundry detergent and figured we'd try our hand at making our own liquid laundry soap with washing soda, borax, and a bar of Dr. Bronners castile soap. After a few loads of laundry we are really pleased with the results and think this is both a great savings and an easy to make, lower chemical soap than we could buy at the store. The recipe we are using is from wellnessmama.com.
