I know, not exactly a food recipe! But, making laundry soap wasn't that difficult and has saved us some cash. Also, I have pretty sensitive skin and as of yet, no problems. You only need about a tablespoon per load, 2 if the load is really dirty.
Ingredients
Adapted from diy Natural
1 bar of shaved Fels-Naptha soap (I used a cheese grater on the smallest holes. Also, other recipes say you can used Dove, but most seem to agree that Fels-Naptha is the most effective.)
1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax
1/2 cup of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1/2 cup of Oxi-Clean Laundry Stain Remover powder
I found all the ingredients in the laundry aisle of our local grocery store, which is the Colorado equivalent of Giant or Safeway.
Shave your soap bar first. NOTE: If you're using Fels, it can irritate your skin in its straight form. Make sure to wash your hands after you are done shaving. Then simply add the other ingredients and mix well. Done and done! If you're feeling really ambitious, maybe double this recipe and get all the shaving out of the way.
