While surfing the web for sewing patterns I happened to stumble upon a website for making your own laundry detergent. I’m pretty excited to try it. They claim it works equally as well as Tide and costs 1/50th of the price. Another thing that appeals to me is that is seems more eco-friendly. Also, I’m paranoid about the chemicals they put in shampoos, detergents, soaps, ect. Upon further research I also found a ‘recipe’ for making your own dish detergent and hand soap. Anyone else want to experiment with making some of these things? I’ll be curious to know what you think!

mother_of_pearl - I’m so with you on this, Alicia! I’m always trying to find new ways to help our budget and I also don’t like all the chemicals cleaning agents bring into our house. I will give the dishwashing detergent and the hand soap a try when we run out of our current stash. I’ll let you know how it goes! I’m interested to see how these things work for you.

chante - We made laundry and dish detergent at an enrichment a while ago, but I missed it… so I am so happy you posted this info! I am totally going to try it out. I third the notion of not using so many chemicals… when I clean, I prefer using things like vinegar & baking soda.
Kimmy - Have I told you lately that I love you? Have I told you theres no one else above you? You fill my heart my gladness, take away all my sadness, ease my troubles, thats what you do.

I have to admit, I didn’t even read this post. I just wanted to sing you that song.
Morgan and Heidi - ALICIA!! IT’S ME HEIDI, Heathers sister remember me?! hahaa. Your daughter is adorable!! I miss you and Ben. Ben is so funny. I’ve only seen Kimmy once since she’s been out here : ( I need to see the Meyers girls!
sarah - I am very interested in this too Alicia … I have one question though … is there a place you can buy the borax locally? Or in other words is it something you can find easily without having to order it online?
Alicia - They have the borax many places. I bought some at Wal-Mart and it was only $2 or $3, but I haven’t been able to find the soda ash/sodium carbonate/washing soda yet. They had a huge thing in the pool section of WalMart but it was $30! So, I’m still looking for that one. Let me know if you find it 🙂
