I hand milled my own laundry soap and I might love it [View all]

I am *pickY* about laundry. I am a linen snob and clean sheet day is, like, one of my *favorite* days.

So I read up on people making biodegradable he laundry soap and tried some myself.

What got hung on the line smelled so amazing, just four t shirts made for an air freshener in one of my bedrooms.

Since it was my first time, i did not buy in bulk, but here is what i did:

1 box of Borax
1 box of Arm and Hammer "super washing soda" it's in the laundry aisle.
2 small boxes of arm and hammer baking soda
1 bar of Fels Napina laundry bar soap
1 bar goat's milk soap, I used Olive.

Grate the bars of soap, and add to a food processor in 'batches with the dry ingredients. This will keep your grated soap from becoming a bar again in the processor.

Heaven, I tell you.
