![]() ![]() She refused to learn to sew either and I do all the repairs to her clothes that are needed! I still hang all my clothes and all else on a clothesline outside, even in the winter so long as snow isn’t on the ground.The Home You Own is here to help you make sense of the home you live in.ĭIYs you can actually do yourself: Don’t be intimidated by those home projects. My daughter doesn’t own an iron or ironing board either. I’d love to find a SAD iron to have on hand for when SHTF. I iron all my husbands shirts, my tshirts, skirts, etc. Heaven knows I have enough canning jars for storage. I have most of the ingredients I need for the soap but I think I need more Fels Naptha bars. ![]() I’m kinda big chested and stuff spills “right there” all the time! I’ve always got some sort of spot or stain that needs to come out and I’m glad I found his book/show. He’s really practical and his suggestions work! I got the worst ring-around-the-collar out of a white shirt of my husbands this week. I stopped using pods when I watched The Laundry Guy on Discovery Plus. I really need to get this recipe made! I’ve been wanting to for some time. Even so, this recipe uses so little per laundry batch, I’m still saving money. Well, the ingredients I used today have really gone up as well. We are all aware of how much everything has gone up in price, right? If you’re like me, you’re willing to try new things that save money while still providing the same quality results. Please let me know if you have tried making my DIY Laundry Detergent, I would love to hear. ![]() I highly recommend you store your borax in an airtight container as shown above filled with detergent or use mason jars. Over time it will become clumpy, or even like a total brick. This is actually a really good question because humidity causes havoc with borax. How do I store Borax, if I live where it’s humid? I highly recommend storing the detergent, the Borax, and the Super Washing Soda in glass airtight containers. How do I store these products in a humid area? It will never be exactly an even number of boxes and soap bars to fill a one-gallon jar. I had a little bit of the product left in each box. This is a little tricky, I used one box of Borax, One box of Super Washing Soda, and 5 bars of Fels-Naptha soap bars. How many boxes of Borax, Super Washing Soda, and Fels-Naptha soap bars fill a one-gallon jar? When added to your wash it will help brighten and whiten your clothes, especially bright-colored items. Will Borax take the smell out of my clothes?īorax works by absorbing the smells and odors in our clothes, so yes, it will take out many unpleasant smells. I store some in 5-gallon buckets, but I don't live where it's humid. Store the finished product in an airtight container, preferably glass to keep it dry. I have a HE-High Efficiency washer, and it works great in regular washing machines as well. I use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per load, depending on the size of the load. After doing this, it will look just like the store-purchased detergent, but will not include all the “fillers." You will use less product per load and will have fewer “soap bubbles." Remember, just having bubbles doesn’t mean clean. Put these 3 ingredients in a blender to blend. Grate the bar of soap by hand, or use an electric vegetable grater. Gotta love the savings, and it does a great job getting my clothes clean! I started out using 1 tablespoon, but I got the same results with half of that, so now it makes my cost even less. I only use 1-3 teaspoons of laundry detergent in my front-end loader washing machine (HE). ![]() I couldn’t do that with liquid detergent. I have several years stored in a closet in five-gallon buckets. Yep, I will probably never run out of the stuff. I prefer the dry over the liquid because I’m one of those chicks that like to be prepared for the unexpected and we all need to do laundry. It is really easy to make laundry detergent, it really is.
