I thought I would be posting once more to warn of my absence, but alas I didn’t meet the deadline. I am, however, back and ready to go now. Sorry about that readers!
Do you make any household cleaners yourself? We make our own laundry detergent and are quite happy with it. Here’s the recipe I follow:
1 bar of finely grated Fels-Naptha
2 cups Washing Soda (not baking soda)
2 cups Borax
Mix well and use about 2 Tbsp per large load.
My favorite way to grate the soap is to use the grater in my food processor and then to process them with the standard blade as well. To get the finest consistency you could use a micro-plane but it takes quite awhile to do!
Another idea is to put vinagar in your fabric softener ball. Your clothes do not come out smelling like vinegar, but it does help to soften and reduce static. I’ve heard tell that you can scent your vinegar and might try that with some of my lavender growing abundantly in the garden.
Please share any home-made household products you currently use as I’m always up to saving some money and having fewer chemicals sitting around the house.
