OT- anyone make your own laundry detergent?
At the moment, my whole house is smelling like soap! It's nice when the house smells clean and I didn't even have to clean anything.

The recipe I am using calls for one bar of Fels-Naptha laundry soap (found it at Meijer with the bath soap), one cup Arm and Hammer washing soda (not laundry detergent, but found in the aisle with the laundry detergents) and one cup borax.
You chop up the bar of soap (which ought to count as exercise, that stuff is not so easy to cut up), boil a big pot of water, then put the soap pieces in it and simmer until the soap is all dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, you put the cup of borax and cup of washing soda in a five gallon bucket (cost me $4 at mennards). When the soap is all dissolved, you pour that in the bucket and stir until the powders are all dissolved. Then you add hot tap water and stir until your bucket is full.
