As you’ll see later in the video, this is not only cheap, but super simple to do yourself.
With 3 ingredients and about 15 minutes of your time you can make your own laundry detergent for only 20 cents a gallon.
Plus it won’t have any 1,4-Dioxane like much of the store-bought stuff, which even the EPA says is a ‘probable human carcinogen’.
So, you can file this under ‘money saving’, ‘survival tactics’ and ‘healthier living’ as well!

“I’ve tried many versions of this stuff and I have to say I have a few observations, take em or leave em. 1. It really doesn’t clean your clothes. They come out stinking, and I do mean just that. If there were any stains, they will still be there no matter what temp you use. 2. It fades your clothes. The second time I tried it, I tried it with half as much water and just used half as much per load. That made sense. Still had the above problems. I couldn’t get it to really clean my clothes until I was using the equivalent of 4 loads. Then it was no longer price effective. That brings me to another point, the price on these directions is old and they are double that now. Anyway, I ended up mixing this half and half with commercial detergent so I could gt something that would actually clean my clothes and smell good and not fade them. I use this mix on dog beds and white. For my “real” clothes, I use Gain. I ruined too many clothes with this home made detergent, which was not added into the cost.”

“Does this really work? New Washers from Sears says that the soap needs to say HE. What ever that means. How does it compare to the HE rating?”
