Having 6 people in our family (soon to be 7) we tend to have a lot of dirty laundry which means we go through tons of laundry detergent. Instead of forking over a bunch of money to buy bottled detergent or giant boxes, I thought I would give making my own detergent a try.

The cost to make the laundry detergent was approximately $8.11 and will last for at least 100 loads of laundry. I’ll take that savings!!

After using this detergent on a load (2 tablespoons of soap per load) of whites, I am super happy with the results and even happier that our whites are bright again!
