Simple Love: Homemade Laundry Detergent
February 2, 2012 Written By: Savannah When my daughter was diagnosed with asthma at the age of three, I did everything I could to prevent future attacks – air purifier, humidifier with drops of Echinacea oil, anti-allergen bedding, fragrant free and allergen-free laundry soap, ect. A few years have passed now and with that I have learned more about how to live a more natural and healthy lifestyle. Last year I read an article on Natural Home & Garden’s website that gave diy instructions on how to make homemade laundry soap. While I had been buying natural store bought soap, I kept finding myself wondering why I couldn’t just make my own. This article sparked me to finally take action. I went to the store and bought the three simple ingredients it called for: Borax (6 cups) Baking Soda (8 cups) Grated Castile Soap (Kirk’s Original Coco Castile) (4 cups) I had to ask an employee at the store if they carried castle soap and we ended up finding it in a bar form on a bottom shelf hidden a bit, so if you have trouble finding it on your own, just ask! When you’re ready to prepare it, grab a container of any sort—I first put it in an extra pitcher I had with a lid, but then finally transferred it to a more permanent glass container. If your castile soap comes in a bar like mine did, use a kitchen grater to grind it down to soft shreds. Mix your ingredients together and voila! Laundry soap! So, so easy. We all know that kids are always wanting to “help” (my daughter measures out the Borax and baking soda while I rub down the castle soap) so let them in on this project and explain to them the benefits of going all natural!

"every (raw) vegan--or anyone really--needs a nice binder to put his or her recipes in. You know, the ones you print off blogs or other forums? ... This would make a great gift for someone who has been eying your new healthy diet and doesn't know how to get started."
