[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 634922, member: 1514"] LOL....which do you want liquid or powder? Oh well I will give you both. Now I will warn you my method is a bit more entailed that some you will find online because Tony has lots of dirty clothes and I tend to get food stains on my clothes. For some reason I miss my mouth quite a bit...lol. Also I make this to give to Cory and Billy and we all know kids get messy so we need some sort of enzyme cleaner in the detergent to help get rid of those "what on earth is that!" stains. Ok, for the liquid you need: 1. one bar Fels- Naptha soap 2. two cups borax 3. two cups super washing soda (not baking soda!) 4. 3 cups of dollar store oxyclean 5. half a bottle of liquid Biz enzyme remover 6. 1 normal size bottle of liquid laundry detergent from the dollar store. This sounds like it would cost a lot but the Fels Naptha is $1, the borax and washing soda are about $3 a piece and you are only using about a fourth of each box. The dollar store oxyclean is about $2. The Biz is like $5 but you only use half so its $2.50 and the liquid laundry detergent at the dollar store is only a buck. Total is about $8 to $9 depending where you live. Everything can be found at Walmart or the dollar store. Now you grate the Fels Naptha soap and put it on the stove in hot water over medium-high heat. Let it all melt in. Stir. Now stir in the borax, washing soda and oxyclean...let all that incorporate into the water. You probably need about 8 cups of water to get this to all absorb. Once it is absorbed, pour into a 5 gallon pail. (Get one at the bakery) Add the Biz and liquid laundry detergent. Stir. Add about 3 to 4 gallons of water and stir it all together. If you use 3 gallons it will be more concentrated. Use about two tablespoons per wash load..large wash load. If its a small load...only one. Now for dry its almost the same except you use 3 bars of fels naptha grated, the entire boxes of borax and washing powder, 3 containers of dollar store oxyclean, half a box of Dry Biz enzyme cleaner and the one small box of dry laundry detergent. You put all that in a large trash bag to mix it all around easier and then store in a 5 gallon pail. Use one tblsp of soap per load. If using cold water, just mix it in a little water before you put it in the washer. [/QUOTE]
