Make it Monday!

Laundry Detergent.... I feel like my days consist of doing laundry :( and I am always behind. I get caught up and think "I'm never getting behind on the laundry again" then the next thing I know I have 5 loads that need to be folded and put away! 
One way our family tries to cut down on cost is by making homemade laundry detergent.... I posted a blog a few years ago about the recipe but I have changed it up so thought I'd share again. 

Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Borax
- 1 Cup Super Washing Soda
- 2 bars of soap(I use ivory)
- 1 bar fels naptha soap
- 10 drops essential oil(My favorite is Young Living purification essential oil)
(all items can be found in the laundry isle other than the ivory soap and essential oil)

Super simple you grate soap bars and mix everything together... I found a cheap food processor at a garage sale and gate the soap then process it all together so it all becomes a powder!

Use 1-2 Tablespoons per wash
 
Happy Monday!
