Laundry soap

Picture
I have super sensitive skin...  many laundry detergents leave me itchy.  After several tries, I finally found a DIY that leaves clothes clean and my skin happy.

It's a simple formula of equal parts:

Washing Soda
Borax
Castile Soap*

*I'm vegan so I use coconut but any castile works.

Shred bars of soap (I use food processor) but you can hand grate but that seems very labor intensive!

I buy the castile soap in bulk and shred it all at one time then store the soap already shredded.  I then mix the 3 into storage containers I keep by the washing machine.  Once those are empty it's a quick mix to refill.

I use whatever small scoop I have to mix the 3 in equal parts.  I'm not very scientific about it.

I have a storage container a friend gave me and another one that was from a protein drink.  I printed the recipe on the front as a label of the contents.  
I use unscented castile so you can add essential oils if you want scented laundry.

​To use, I keep a tablespoon measure by the washer and use 1 heaping tablespoon per load.
