Our Goal out of life is to have all that we own be from the 1950s and 1960s. We have being doing pretty good so far. A few weeks ago we bought a washer and dryer from the late 1950s. They are amazing and work so well. Love them!!!
With the "new" washer and dryer I didn't feel right using regular laundry soap so I looked online and found a dry homemade laundry soap and made it. Super easy!! and smells yummy and works great and will last me way longer then store bought. Not to mention cost effective. All you need is....
1 cup Super Washing Soda
1 cup Borax
1 bar Fels-Naptha (Grated)
Mix with a spoon, store in a container with lid.
2 tablespoons per load, less if smaller load.
I altered it a bit...I wanted to make more then just one batch so I did:
4 cups Super Washing Soda
4 cups Borax
2 bars Fels-Naptha (Grated)
And it works great!
I wanted to keep it vintage so I used a Tupperware container and a tablespoon Tupperware coffee scoop.
I have been melting that fels naptha stuff down. I didn't know you could make it powdered. I wonder if it still works in a HE machine? thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I did the melting down to and just found I wasn't a huge fan so I went looking. I love it and have been using it for a few weeks now.
