I just love homemaking and I get really excited over DIY projects. I really despise spending 6 bucks on a bottle of fabric softener and 10 bucks on laundry detergent. Yet I love a good smelling, fresh batch of laundry.
You may remember this post: Testing the Homemade Laundry detergent.
While I liked that recipe, I didn't love it. So, I went back to store bought stuff and forgot about it.
Then along came Pinterest......
Ah.......what a way to waste time. :)
Just kidding, I try not to waste too much time on it and I have found some great things there.
Here is a link to one of them:
No Grate Homemade Laundry Detergent
I love this recipe!! It is wonderful. It is super easy and of course I tested it.
I used one load of this and then one load with the store bought stuff and honestly the clothes smelled more clean and fresh with the homemade version. Also, I now have an HE washer (which I loathe) and I use this in it.
Now here is my fav!!
Homemade Fabric Softener
If you try this and like it let me know. I am really pleased with it and the savings it brings!
Happy Homemaking,
Melanie
Ok. I just came to your blog and we have the SAME background lol
ReplyDeleteI love making my own detergent but, I did not love the no-grate stuff. Funny how different people like different things isn't it?
I also hate buying laundry detergent and while I bought laundry detergent I never bought fabric softner.. now that I make my own, I buy it :D
