My quest for a dishwasher detergent that tackles this hard water in Georgia has been unsuccessful, until I decided to google homemade dishwasher detergent for hard water and came across simplydesigning.blogspot.com and she had a laundry detergent recipe too. So this morning the kids and I went to our first mother goose on the loose class, were we sang, played with a few instruments, read a few books. This class is just what I have been wanting for both boys, educational social interaction. We had tried the play group here on base but it is unstructured play, with all ages and Dreycin got hit by an older kid. I was pisted, so not going back there anymore. After class we checked out some books, and went to Walmart to get my ingredients for my homemade detergents. They were very similar for both so I decided to make both. After reading about how much $$$ it actually saves you I was like ok this could be awesome!! I bought
1box of borax
1box of washing soda
1 bar of fels naptha soap
1can of dry Lemi shine
1 bottle of kosher salt
1bottle of vinegar
And it took me less than 45min to make both. Here are some pics.
The second to last pic is of how much dish detergent I ended up with. And the second pic is the canister of borax and washing soap before I added the shredded bar of soap. Sorry they are out of order my iPhone is uploading the pics the way it wants too. Wow I'm feeling a little domesticated today!
Awesome Cindy! I am going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteI think you might be a little more "crunchy" than me but if you ever move back to Dallas, I think we'd make great friends! Not that we aren't already friends :)
