I am going to share with you my favorite recipe for laundry detergent that brightens clothes, cleans everything and smells great.
The ingredients,
1. Pink Zote Soap , you can use blue or white also i just happen to like pink. (http://www.zote.com.mx/english/fre_as.htm )
2. 20 Mule team Borax ( my box broke i do not have a picture but here is a link to all its uses and where to find it. ) http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/
3. Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda
I get all these ingredients from my local Walmart. If you cannot find them you can order them online.
It took me a while to find the right recipe that is strong enough . Out of 3 boys I have a baby who loves to wear his food on his clothes, and a son that wets the bed. The recipes I found were not strong enough to get out the smell of urine from sheets so I had to sample for a while till I got the right mixture. This recipe leaves clothes smelling great, bright, and clean . I have heard this mix works for cloth diapers as well, (I recommend soaking the diapers in borax first. )
The Recipe to make 1.95 Gallons
2 Cups Grated Zote soap
1 Cup Borax
2 Cups Super Washing Powder
First get a pot, ( I have one i do not use for cooking ) Boil half the pot full of water
Grate the Pink Zote , add to pot and bring to a broil until the soap dissolves
At first it will be very watery, let it sit for a few minutes till it is a bit thicker constancy. Then add other ingredients and stir.
After all ingredients are mixed thoroughly , move mixture to your container. I use a 1.96 gallon container from previous Xtra i brought. I use a funnel so the mixture goes in easily.
After you have transferred your mixture, Fill the remaining container with water. and shake ( lightly)
Let sit for 24 hours to thicken.
Hurray !!!! You have soap.
...let me know how your mixture went...and pin this post for later use.
