Diy Laundry Detergent

For a while I was making my own diy laundry detergent using Fels  Naptha bar soap. Only problem that I had was the grating of the soap. That was hard on my hands so I stopped making it and went back to store bought. 

Recently I learned about Zote a soap used for making your own diy laundry detergent, which you can buy already grated. 

So I gave it a try, and so far I’m loving my diy laundry detergent, it cleans well, and leaves my clothes smelling so good.

 I still buy the store bought detergent when I run across great deals just to have on hand. Plus I love finding great deals!

Diy Laundry Detergent Recipe

  • 1 cup Borax
  • 1 cup Washing Soda
  • 1 cup Zote Flakes
  • 1/2 cup Epson Salt (fabric softener)
  • 1/2 cup In Wash Scent Crystals (I used Downy UnStoppables)

Diy Laundry Detergent Recipe 

I poured all the ingredients into a plastic ice cream tub that I had saved (knowing that it would come in handy for something). 

Keep the lid on and shake before each use. I had an extra 1oz scoop so I dropped that in the tub, and I use 1 1/2 scoops of my diy laundry detergent per load. 

My clothes come out clean, soft, and smelling so good.

    This is helpful! I always make my own laundry detergent, but I didn’t know you could buy the soap already grated! That makes it so much easier!

      I just found out about it recently. The grating was hard on my hands that’s why I stopped making my own.

    I think I need to start making my own, it looks so simple! It’s a shame I can’t find Downy here, my friend uses it and I love the smell.

      Hi Pili! You could add the Downy Fresh Protect In-Wash Odor Shield crystals then it would smell like Downy. Thanks for stopping by!
