Hello all! I thought that I would share my soap recipe with you this evening. It is not a food recipe so I don’t know how many people that I can share it with! But, I have been using and making this powdered laundry soap up for many many years now and I just love it.
I have a lot of allergy problems with a lot of scents so I began making and using this soap, a long time ago. Did I forget to mention that it is a huge money saver and gentle on fabrics but tough on grease. It is also better for our water-ways and the earth.
No, I am not a tree hugger, but on the other hand, I just will not use a dishwasher! You just can’t pay me enough to use one. I never have had one. As I do feel it wastes so much water and nature is so beautiful to me.
Ok, now on to the recipe. This recipe smells and looks close to Dreft. The baby washing powder from days gone by. That is the sweetness of the smell. I do add 1/5th of a capful of the Purex Scent Crystals to 2 TBSP of my washing powder soap.
This is for a large load or a regular-sized load of laundry, either one. Just toss it in the front loader and load up your laundry. I use nothing else, not even in the dryer.
You will need to spend a little to start out with for your supplies to make this but then you can make up more batches as you need them and just keep them in a coffee-mate can as mine is, or a covered container. And for every load, you just use 2 TBSP of this washing powder. It does not get all sudsy as it does not contain that chemical that does that. But it cleans your clothes so that you almost want to eat them.
Box of 20 Mule Team Borax
Box of Arm And Hammer Washing Powders
Get big boxes as you will use 4 cups of each.
1 Bar Of Zote. I use the pink color as I love the sweet smell.
In a large bowl, put 4 cups of each of the washing powders.
Use a box cheese grater and grate the bar of Zote into large cheese-like curls. Now put these into the large bowl and combine well.
I have a little food processor that I loaded up with this mixture and I shredded up many batches until I had emptied that large bowl.
This will last me for 9 months to a year as there is only me to wash for. I hope that you try this and share my blog with others. Thank you for your visit. Connie B. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES
