Homemade Soaps

I just got done making laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent...these were found on Tipnut.com

Powdered Laundry Detergent

2 cups borax

2 cups baking soda

2 bars of Ivory soap finely grated

Shake container well before each use...

2 T per full load

I can't wait to see how it does :)

Dishwasher Detergent

2 cups borax

2 cups baking soda

Fill dispenser...it says that if dishes are cloudy after wash start using vinegar in the rinse aid dispenser...I am going to start doing this after I use up the rinse aid that I bought...that stuff is Super Expensive :)

Took me about 10 minutes to make both of these and that includes grating the soap ;) I used the old box for the dishwasher detergent and used a funnel to fill.

I used an empty plastic container with lid for the laundry detergent and filled 2 T into a small plastic "scoop" and marked it so that it will be easy to measure each time ;)

I am toying around with the no-shampoo aspect of washing your hair...it involves using baking soda paste massaging your scalp and rinsing with vinegar...it says that it makes your hair more manageable/softer...which I need...I hate trying to do anything with my hair as it always frustrates me that nothing stays where I want it to...we will see if I try to attempt this...it may be a summer thing ;)
