Let me preface this post by saying there are lots of recipes for homemade laundry detergent floating around the internet. Most include the same basic ingredients at similar ratios. But, most involve grating bar soap and/or cooking and I can’t really be bothered with either of those steps. I do a LOT of laundry, so I use quite a bit of laundry soap. I’ve tried several brands of laundry detergent and several brands of laundry soap. There are a couple {Read More}
