How I Make My Own Laundry Soap

I have had fun trying to find ways to cut cost while still maintaining some form of normal in my house. Over the course of a month I found that I was spending almost one hundred dollars on laundry stuff alone. This had to change. I sat out and researched ways to cut this cost, and I have found that what works for me is to make my own soap and fabric softer. These are the directions I use to do this.

 Laundry Soap
 4 Cups Boiling Water
 1 cup white vinegar
 2 cups borax
 1/2 cup of cheap shampoo or left over bar soap

I will boil the water, add the vinegar and borax. If I use the shampoo I just add it, if I am using bar soap I will grade it down to a find powder and add it last. Mix and let cool. I also will sometimes add baking wash to it, but alot of the time I can not afford this.

Fabric Softer
2 cups of hair conditioner
3 cups of distilled white vinegar
6 cups boiling water

 Boil the water, add vinegar and conditioner. Stir then pour into container and shake well, let cool and ready to use.

 My daughter loves making these. This had cut my cost down to about 20 dollars a month so far.
