I have been searching for an HE washing machine recipe for laundry soap and finally did it! It was super easy and I was able to find everything I needed at Wal-mart. I found the recipe here. This is all the ingredients we purchased to make both the laundry soap and the dishwasher soap. It all added up to $16.79. Other than needing to buy more lemi-shine and fels naptha, we have plenty to make more of each. Homemade Laundry Soap 1 Bar of Fels Naptha 1c Borax 1c Washing Soda 1/4c Oxiclean This is all you need to make your own laundry soap. We found it all at Wal-mart. I started off using the hand grater...then a salad shooter...then after combining everything into a mason jar, I decided I wanted the fels naptha to blend better with the other ingredients, so we put it in the food processor and milled it. That worked better for us! We made a funnel out of a few sheets of paper and poured the ingredients into a 1 quart mason jar. Our first batch of homemade laundry soap for our HE washer. It worked great and you only use 1tbs per load! Check back for our homemade dishwasher soap adventure soon!!

Just made my 3rd batch of laundry soap and have found my fav combo! Like yours only this time used Zote instead of fels naphtha (lowes grocery store 99 cents- pink) and purel crystals. Smells SO GOOD!

Idk how may loads it will produce but I expect it to last 3-4 months using 2tbs per load. Some use 1 tbs but my machine is extra large and I like it to smell good. It def smells great! I'd guess its about 3 gal of powder???

We just made our second batch! Our last batch made a mason jar full and washed 40 loads of laundry. Leave a Reply. |
