A few asked how I make my laundry detergent. I simply grate a bar of unscented homemade goat's milk soap (you can use a bar of Zote as well), add 8 cups of water, and heat until melted. I then add 1 1/2 cups borax and 1 1/2 cups washing soda, and continue to heat and stir until dissolved. . .

Making Homemade Detergents
Yesterday I made homemade dishwasher detergent and it worked great. Today I made laundry detergent and detergent to hand wash dishes. I used the recipe that makes the liquid form due to our well water. So far, after 2 loads it has cleaned the laundry well. I could not find Zote soap. If I do, I may try it as well. It will save us so much money, and require us to use less chemicals with our cleaning.
