How to make the Best Homemade Laundry Detergent

Most Bang for the Buck....Literally The Best Laundry Detergent for Pennies...

We only use Dawn in our house as it is, and the other two ingredient's have been around forever so, I made a gallon of this as soon as I saw the video. It does exactly what it should do.....CLEAN'S CLOTHE'S :) Simple, quick, and inexpensive, love it!!!!

This recipe is fantastic. My clothes, blankets and towels are soo soft after drying. I am not going back to commercial brands of washing detergent again. Thanks a bunch. :)

Thanks for the post "Best Homemade Laundry Detergent". Who'd have thought it would be so easy to make your own laundry detergent. :)

I made this and the dry ingredients fell to the bottom ! Next time I make this I think I will mix the dry ingredients in water til desolves then and the soap and more water!

Great job, thank you for sharing

I have used ivory dish soap for hand washables and would soak them over night and it did the trick Ive also used it for pre treating. I spend a lot of $ on products for my clothing but the more I read about people making their own detergent the more I want to try this out myself. Why not! Thanks Jon!

Probably be better to add dawn last so it doesn't bubble up so much

So no matter what bottle u use......use the formula....after swishing fill container with cold water......thinking to buy a 100 oz detergent then use the bottle to make ur detergent. Thanks for the info.

im gonna use this recipe because sitting there grating a bar of soap is too time consuming and those soaps that a lot of people use im not sure of using because i have sensitive skin. i enjoy dawn, ajax, and joy dish soap there very great for cleaning and their gentle on my skin. i love this after i run out of my commercial detergent im going to give this a try.

next time I make laundry soap for my little ones cloth diapers I'm using this ..I use it already just more diluted as I did 3 tablespoons borax and washing soda and 2 tablespoons dawn.. I wash diapers frequently so it will be soon

Thanks i don't have to get the baking stuff out.

[@murphyisacat]

the washing soda and borax dissolve better with just the water, then add the detergent after everything else.

My concern is using bleach with this. Dawn says not to mix it with bleach.

I wear white uniform shirts to work. Does this recipe get white shirts very clean?

Best liquid detergent vid

[@coreygrant5974]

how long have you been using that? Stacy make some but it doesn't have much fragrance and does not seem to do well on whites.

[@keg265]

Can the borax be left out and citric acid be used instead?

AMÉN!

[@amberl4401]

This seems great! I'm going try this. I've been finding deals at the store on detergent then I look at the regular prices. They seem so high now. I like this seems more natural and cheaper. Is it ok to use essential oils instead of dawn? Which Dawn is great. :)

I see the question asked a couple of times but do not see the answer. In case I missed it. How much of this do you recommend using per load ? Thank you.
