Best. Laundry. soap. ever

I have been meaning to write this post for a very long time.  But, like everything, "stuff" happens and the thought completely leaves my mind...  Tonight it stuck.

For about the last three years, we have been enjoying the most awesome smelling, fresh laundry ever - and the environment loves it too!  (It doesn't have all the chemicals and crud in it.)  Double win!  I have been sharing my secret with friends here and there and realized that I need to share it with you too.  So...here is the recipe.

Awesome Laundry Soap
1 bar Fels Naphtha soap - grated fine (or your favorite bar of all natural soap)
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda
1 cup oxygen booster (I use oxygen clean or Nellies from Amazon)

Mix and store in your favorite container.  Use 1 tablespoon per load of laundry.  If you have an extra dirty load, you can up it to 1 1/2 tablespoons.  I have an HE front load washer and the machine LOVES this stuff!  And, I mean loves it!

I also gave the boot to fabric softeners (they are filled with SO MUCH chemicals - yikes) and use 1/2 cup white vinegar in its place - per load.  My laundry is amazingly clean and fresh and my HE machine loves me for it!  

Give it a try - I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this soap is!
