I've had a lot of people ask me for this lately and some requests on facebook so I thought I would just add it to my blog! Why not right?! I'm bored and way over due to blog!
This is a powder recipe!
2 Fels Naptha soap bars (grate these on your box grater or put it through your food processor)
1 3 pound tub of oxi clean
1 box of borax
1 box super washing soda (make sure it's the washing soda NOT baking soda)
1-2 bottles of purex crystal...s (this is a softener but it's also for scent. I like it to smell longer so I usually get one big bottle and one small bottle)
Mix all together. It is low suds so it's HE safe. It is a powder so I recommend putting actually in the washer and not the pull out drawer that's on the HE machines (it tends to get goopy in there!)
You only use 1-2 tablespoons per load (I know it sounds crazy but it works) If you used the purex crystals you can put the finished mixture back into those bottles and the number 1 line of the purex lid is the amount you need to use. Built in measuring!!!
This lasted our family of 5 since last July!

Recently someone who equally shares my love for purex crystals found this lovely bottle of baby scented crystals so for this batch I will actually pull some of the mixture out before adding the crystals so that I can make a baby smell soap for my babies!!!! I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS!
