Homemade Laundry Detergent - More Bang For Your Buck!

Making homemade laundry detergent is a simple way to get your laundry clean. Homemade laundry detergent requires only a few ingredients. If you have a little time, you can save hundreds of dollars per year!

The primary reason people use homemade laundry detergent is to save money. In the store, you are mostly paying for packaging. For a small amount of money, you can buy enough ingredients to make more than a year's worth of detergent!

Fels Naptha

Ingredients may purchased at your local grocery or chain superstore. However, some are available in co-ops, natural food and specialty stores, or ordered online. If you prefer fragrance in your detergent, you can add essential oils, which can also be purchased online.

Homemade Laundry Detergent - More Bang For Your Buck!

Here are two common recipes:

Liquid Laundry Detergent:

1/3 cup Fels-Naptha® soap bar, grated 1/2 cup Washing Soda 1/2 cup Borax

Put Fels-Naptha® soap bar in a pan with 6 cups of water and heat until dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup washing soda, 1/2 cup Borax, and mix until melted. Remove from heat. In a two gallon bucket, put 1 quart of hot water, then add the soap. Mix. Fill bucket with cold water. Mix until well blended. Set aside for 24 hours. It will gel up a little, but is mostly a liquid. Shake or stir t mix before using. Use 1/2 cup for each load.

Powdered Laundry Detergent:

1 cup Fels-Naptha® soap bar, grated 1/2 Cup Washing Soda 1/2 cup Borax

For a light load, use 1 tablespoon. For heavy or a heavily soiled load, use 2 tablespoons.

Fels-Naptha® Laundry soap bar is at the laundry or bar soap aisle at your regular supermarket. If you cannot find it, try Ivory or Octagon soap instead.

Super Washing Soda: Washing soda is found in the laundry detergent aisle of your supermarket. Baking soda SHOULD NOT be used in place of washing soda. They are completely different products.

Borax: Also found in the laundry detergent aisle. One brand name is 20 Mule Team® Borax.

Some people wonder whether the homemade detergent will really clean their clothes. The answer is yes, many would argue the clothes come out cleaner, whiter, and brighter! The washing soda and Borax are both laundry boosters.

The difference between store-bought and homemade detergent is that store-bought detergent has harmful chemicals. Homemade detergent does not contain harsh chemicals. Also, commercial detergents use fillers that over time, will dull and grey your clothing. The cheaper detergents often contain the most fillers.

Plain vinegar works as a natural softener. Just add to your rinse cycle. If you use a laundry ball, you can fill that with vinegar. The clean clothes will not smell bad.

Rules? What Rules?

Rules? What Rules? Tube. Duration : 11.60 Mins.

This video was recorded on January 16th 2011 but I forgot to upload it. When is it okay to break a rule? As I've said before, I believe in individual freedoms and liberties. I believe that individual rights trump the rights of the masses. Following that theme I discuss briefly my take on what rules should be followed and when breaking rules is okay! A good way to judge if a rule or law is worth breaking is to use what I call the "rule scale". Does the benefit of breaking the rule outweigh the consequences of breaking that rule? Is it life or death? To me in Canada the chances of needing a firearm for self defense are low enough that the consequences of carrying a firearm for self defense outweigh the potential benefits, at least right now. The future might dictate a change in the balance of benefit over consequence. We need to stand up for what is right and sometimes we need to do things to live. Some of what I talk about is what I'd do regardless of the rules if the grid went down in the middle of the winter for heating. If I could not get propane for my indoor propane heater or of the propane was to expensive due to supply and demand I would have no problem breaking the rules and using a wood stove like the M1950 Yukon to heat my apartment. The benefit outweighs the consequences. Another example is using home made laundry soap over the high efficiency detergent my Land Lord wants me to use. The cost of the High Efficiency stuff to me dictates that I either buy the ...

How To Make Homemade Laundry Detergent with 100% Lard Soap -- Why I Don't Use Fels-Naptha

How To Make Homemade Laundry Detergent with 100% Lard Soap -- Why I Don't Use Fels-Naptha Tube. Duration : 12.25 Mins.

This is Part II of the "How To Make Homemade Laundry Detergent with 100% Lard Soap". In this video, I explain why I chose to use the 100% Lard Soap versus the Fels-Naptha. If you or someone in your family has sensitive skin, and the Fels-Naptha soap isn't working for you in your homemade laundry detergent recipe, then try switching to the 100% Lard Soap and see if that makes a difference for you. I currently offer scented (with fragrance oil) and naturally scented (with essential oil) 100% Lard Soaps in my Etsy store. I will also be offering an unscented bar in about 2 weeks. Check out the video "How To Make Homemade Laundry Detergent with 100% Lard Soap" Part I here: www.youtube.com My Etsy: www.kcheriesoaps.etsy.com And please leave comments and questions! Also, if you have any tips, list them in the comments section ;-) I'd love to hear your tips as well.

How to Eliminate Poison Ivy

Poison ivy is one of those plants that grows just about everywhere across the United States, and no one wants it in their yard or garden. While it is not physically difficult to remove, you must strategically plan your attack and be prepared to return more than once. Poison ivy is tenacious, and completely removing a large infestation can take more than one season.

Before you begin, make a point of showing your children what the plant looks like. Once you have begun removing it there will be no good samples to show, and all children should be able to identify and avoid this poisonous plant.

There is no such thing as a person who is not susceptible to the nasty effects of poison ivy. Consider yourself lucky if you have not yet been affected, but plan to protect yourself while removing it. All parts of this plant, including the roots, contain oils that can cause skin rash and can be very dangerous if they get into the eyes or are inhaled. Better safe than sorry is always the rule. Before you start, have the following items:

• A closely woven long sleeve shirt with a collar that can be buttoned high around the neck.
• Long pants
• One or two pair of heavy rubber gloves (minimum) with long cuffs
• Heavy shoes or boots that can be washed down
• Wide brimmed hat
• Close fitting goggles and a respirator mask. Have multiple masks if you plan on working in several sessions as you will want to discard a mask when you take it off.
• Large heavy plastic bags
• Rubbing alcohol
• Lightweight oil
• A bar of strong soap such as Fels Naptha or other specialty soap for removing plant oils from the skin
• A glyphosate herbicide such as RoundupA spray applicator that will be used only for herbicide application

How Glyphosates Work

Glyphosates are "non-selective" herbicides that will kill any actively growing plant when they come into contact with leaves or stems. It is not active in the soil. Because the product is taken up by leaves and stems, its effect is not immediately visible. For perennial plants such as poison ivy, the results should be evident as the plants begin to turn yellow and wilt after approximately seven to ten days. At the same time the above-ground part of the plant is dying, the roots are also deteriorating.

Applying a Glyphosate to Poison Ivy

Choose a day in late spring or early summer that is not windy and when no rain is expected for at least 48 hours. You do not want the product to be either washed off by rain or blown on to desirable plants or your lawn grass.

Mix a strong solution of glyphosate liquid according to label directions and spray directly onto the poison ivy, wetting it thoroughly. In spots where your sprayer will cast too wide a spray, use a small foam paintbrush to apply the poison directly on to the leaves.

When the visible parts of the plants appear to be dead, dig down and remove any roots you can identify. Poison ivy roots are just as dangerous as the top growth. Although they may no longer be growing, they still contain dangerous oils. Cover up and protect yourself. Dispose of all plant parts in your strong plastic bag.

Mark the area where you removed plants with a stake or other marker so you can return regularly to check for any plants you may have missed. Poison ivy does produce berries which can sprout the following year, so this may be a multiple-year project.

If the vine has climbed up into trees do not spray the tree. A glyphosate can damage or kill the tree. Instead, cut the stems with an axe approximately a foot off the ground. Spray the portion of the plant remaining in the ground carefully with your glyphosate, using a cardboard barrier to protect the tree trunk if necessary.

Allow the upper part of the vine to remain in place. Over several months it will die and eventually fall from the tree, at which time you can carefully bag and dispose of it.

Cleaning Up

Place everything you are removing into a strong plastic trash bag. While mulching and composing are generally recommended in the garden, not in this case. Shredding or burning will release toxic oils into the air, where they can easily be inhaled.

Wash all tools down carefully with rubbing alcohol, including the handles. Allow them to air dry, and then oil them carefully to prevent rust.

Wash your boots or shoes thoroughly with soapy water, and discard your rubber gloves.

Shower with a soap designed to remove poison ivy oils from the skin, just in case. Don't forget to thoroughly wash your hair. If your skin did come in contact with poison ivy, wash thoroughly with your strong soap in COLD water (to keep pores from opening).

Wash all clothing separately at least twice.

How to Eliminate Poison Ivy

After you have showered, wash down the tub to remove any remaining oils. When your little one climbs into the tub with his baby water toys, you don't want any poison ivy oil left on the sides or bottom. This is especially important if your small person will be splashing with her favorite Alex Bath Toys.

Top 5 Laundry Room Questions Answered

Okay, I confess: I don't know if these are the top 5 laundry room questions in the whole world, but when I started researching organization for myself (and my teeny tiny laundry space), I saw some questions asked over and over. As long as I was curious about them anyway, I figured I'd write an article to share the answers I found.

So, without further ado, I give you the list:

1. What's that smell and how do I get rid of it?

Laundry rooms can have funky odors. Sometimes you know what's causing them and sometimes you don't. Here are a couple of common culprits you might check into:

Septic/sewer smells -- If there are drains in the floor, shower, sink, etc. that don't see much use, try pouring water into them to fill the drain traps (these can dry out when they're not used, which allows sewer gas to enter the house).

Musty/damp smells -- It could be mold/mildew. Make sure your dryer is venting outside the house properly, and make sure there aren't leaks coming from anywhere. If there is a leak, water can get under floors and into walls where mold and mildew can thrive.

2. Can you move the laundry room upstairs (to the second or third floor)?

Sure! It's actually becoming quite popular to move laundry rooms closer to bedrooms, which are usually located upstairs. Who wants to tote baskets full of clothes up and down multiple levels of stairs?

It does cost some money and there are some hoops to run through. The washer and dryer should be installed close to existing water lines, and you'll also have to run a 220 volt electrical line in for the dryer. Building codes in your area may also require you to put in a floor drain.

3. Where can I find cheap cabinets?

Cabinets are a great way to add storage. But you don't usually see laundry room cabinets advertised as such when you visit the home improvement store. Sure, you could use some of the nice looking cabinets from the kitchen remodeling section, but those aren't going to be cheap.

One thing you can do is reuse old kitchen or bathroom cabinets and mount them on the wall in your laundry room. Check with second hand stores or even junkyards to find them. Lots of people throw out perfectly good cabinets just because they don't match their new kitchens.

4. What's an inexpensive way to organize the laundry room?

As mentioned above, cabinets offer a way to create storage that isn't out in the open. You can also save space by using ironing boards that fold up behind the door, getting laundry hampers/baskets that can be folded or otherwise compacted (i.e. mesh hampers), and adding wall-mounted hanging racks that can be pushed/folded nearly flush with the wall when they're not in use.

5. How can we save money and reduce energy costs?

People are looking for lots of way to save energy (and thus save money on monthly bills) around the house, and the laundry room is definitely a spot where improvements can be made.

If you have the money, investing in a new energy-efficient washing and drying machine can pay off in the long run, but appliances aren't cheap, so here are some other ways to save energy without spending any money:

* Only run the clothes when you have a full load
* If the weather is nice, hang your clothes out to dry
* Clean the lint trap after every load
* Avoid buying clothes that require costly dry cleaning

Bonus Question!

How can you make your own laundry detergent?

I found this recipe online and had to add it to this article (since another way to save money is to make your own detergent):

Mix...

* 1 Cup grated Fels-Naptha soap
* 1/2 Cup 20 Mule Team Borax
* 1/2 Cup Washing Soda.

Use 1-3 tablespoons per load (adjusting for load size and dirtiness).

There you have it--the top laundry room questions answered. Now you can organize that laundry room, and make it more efficient to boot.
