All Natural Homemade Laundry Soap Month
Save your hard earned money! Save your Earth and Environment! Save your Children! Save the Future which is your Lasting Legacy!
Stop Consumerism! The cooperation’s don’t care about your health or the environment. All they care about is lining their gold filled pockets with your hard earned minimum wage cash! Not only is the recipe for laundry soap extremely cheap and easy to make it works well and leaves fewer toxins in the environment as well as your homes! With cancer and other various toxin related health issues on the rise we need to take extra care in our daily lives and return to a natural state of existing.
Is modern convenience worth the tally of destruction it is having on our health and our environment? Does it take any less time to make home made laundry soap than it does to make the money it cost to drive to the store and buy a bottle off the shelf for you are assured that the cost of toxin filled mass produced laundry soap is far greater than the cost of making your own all natural batch! We must ask ourselves these seemingly meaningless questions in order to understand our actions as a whole.
Would you rather have that extra ten dollars a week in your pocket or would you rather give it away to Tide or Gain or whatever other cooperation is producing chemical filled detergents? Would you rather poison the dirt in your town than to educated yourself on using alternative all natural (old fashioned) methods of cleaning your laundry? Remember, the food you eat grows in the dirt. If the dirt is toxic it stands to reason so too is your food, including the local live stock.
Not to mention the petroleum products. You do know that oil is used to make your current laundry detergents right? Same oil we see a war in Iraq over. It’s a chain reaction of toxins and we the people line the pockets of cooperation’s for the privilege of helping to destroy our health and our habitat, the Earth! You do the math and make the choice. Choose with wisdom not convenience.
Recipe-all ingredients are naturally occurring.
1 bar of Ivory soap (Ivory is all natural by the way)
1 cup 20 Team Mule Borax (found on the laundry isle)
½ cup of Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (Unable to find this locally? Then please contact me for some!)
Water
A five gallon bucket
A knife
A pot
A long handled spoon
Shave or grate the soap into the pot and add six cups of water. Bring just short of a boil and stir until all soap is fused into the water completely. Add the washing soda and borax and stir until dissolved, remove from heat. If you would like to add scent now is the time. You can use any essential oil that you wish!
Now add three gallons of hot water to your bucket and add the soapy stove mixture to the hot water. Stir well. Cover and let sit for twenty for hours for the detergent to gel. Your finished product may need to be stirred and can now be transferred into a smaller jug for easy pouring. Be sure to break up all lumps that may occur.
Use a ½ cup to a cup depending on the amount of soil in the laundry. Don’t worry if your new all natural detergent looks funny as it will look different than what you are use to from the stores. Be sure to shake the bottle before using also. This is a very low suds formula so do not be alarmed if there are no suds. Suds do not clean the clothes, the soap itself does. This recipe is ideal for high efficiency machines.
You will yield approx. 100 loads of laundry at a mere .01 cent per load. How does this hold up to your current load cost?
