Scrub a Dub

In November I decided to make my own laundry detergent.  Cory and I had just gotten married and I thought it would be something to help us save money along with helping me feel like a domestic wife.  In November, I was pregnant and not feeling great so I took any chance of making myself feel like a better wife.  Since November, I have made one more batch of this laundry detergent.  We love it, it last about 5 months and only cost around $30.00 to make.  Can't beat that!

Instructions:
1 box super washing soda (3lb)
1 box Borax (4lb)
1 box Pure Baking Soda (4lb) -- I bought four one pound boxes
 1 container of Oxy Clean or Dirty Jobs - you can use big or small depending on how dirty your laundry is
2 Fels bars of soap, shaved.  I use a cheese grater.
Purex Crystals - This past time I used two containers of the baby scented kind and I LOVE IT!  It could be that I love babies right now but who cares, it smells like heaven.

Mix together in a big buck.  I use half a scoop on each load.  We have a front load washing machine and I throw the laundry detergent on top of the clothes, I don't put it in the laundry detergent tray.  I have read where you can use this for baby clothes and I probably will once the new wears off.
