I just want to pass this along, it is amazing...

My step daughter gave me this recipe for laundry detergent. She has an 18 month old, a 3 year old and a step son that's 16 years old. She keeps a Very clean house would not give that up to save money, so I was very interested in her formula. She has been using it for over a year and we have been using it for a few months. It is amazing...

All the ingredients are available at walmart and you can wash for less than $.05/load...

Your first purchase will be around $18 then the next 4 will be around $10 ea. You get around 225 washes per purchase. So for each cycle of 5 purchases you get a total of 1125 wash cycles for $48 bucks! That equals $.0427 cents per wash!!!

The Recipe:

2 cups of Borax
2 cups of washing soda
2 bars of naptha bar soap (grinded, use a cheese grater or food processor.)
1 canister Downy unstoppables

You only use 2 teaspoons per load of laundry
