i had read a ton of blogs about the liquid kind and i just wasn't sold. i mean i don't have room (or patience) to make gallons of detergent.
but thanks to pinterest i found a dry recipe...and i have been sold!
3 ingredients....
zote: $0.96
washing soda: $2.50
borax: $3.50
recipe: 2 cups of grated zote (half of a large bar!)
1 cup of borax
1 cup of washing soda
so you can see that a box of borax and washing soda go a long way! you only need a tablespoon of detergent for a large load....seriously, that's it! i sometimes feel it's not enough but it really is.
you can also use fels naptha or ivory soap. i just love the smell and pink curls of the zote bar.
i haven't used any natural stain removers but at the blog of live renewed she rates natural stain removers. i'm going to make some of my own soon too!

I think this is so interesting...and I bet it really works! I already use the Borax in my laundry instead of Oxy Clean and I think it works so well at removing stains and whitening whites. My favorite thing about it is that it completely removes odors. By the way, Borax is also great at removing stains in carpet! I mix it with a little water and rub into the stain.
I'm so glad you posted this! I've not been too interested in those liquid ones, either! Making it today!
