Homemade Laundry Detergent. This is an updated tutorial of one of my all-time most requested homemade cleaner recipes! There are a several different recipes for homemade laundry detergent on the internet, most of them involve giant buckets of thick, gloppy liquid--which is what I used for several years, but when we had to down size into a tiny townhouse we just didn't have room for a bucket anymore. I didn't want to give up the cost savings of homemade detergent for the convenience of the tiny bottles of concentrated detergent, so I came up with a way to concentrate the homemade detergent to fit my space. Depending on the cost of your ingredients, this detergent only cost between $.01 and $.03 a load! Compare that with even the cheapest detergents on the market and you can really save. We find it is not necessary to use fabric softener with this detergent, except occasionally in the winter. You can find my tutorials for homemade fabric softener/dry sheets here.
