Homemade Laundry Soap

Homemade laundry soap recipe, fabric softener and stain removers using natural cleaning supplies and essential oils. The laundry soap recipe is used a lot for cleaning laundry. I like the addition of the eucalyptus oil for freshening the clothes.

Homemade Laundry Soap
Reuse an old laundry detergent container...about a 1.5 gallon size.

1/3 cup castile soap
1/3 cup washing soda
1/3 cup borax
Place in container and fill with hot water. Shake together.
Add 1 Tablespoon eucalyptus essential oil.

Use 1/4-1/2 cup per load.

For a dry laundry soap mixture:
Grate 1 cup pure soap
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax
