I have been wanting to make my own laundry soap for awhile. When I was accepted to become a Purex Insider and saw they were looking for people to test a Fels-Naptha bar, I applied. Fels-Naptha
is a powerful laundry bar that works overtime to remove greasy, oily stains, perspiration, and ring-around-the-collar. With over 100 years of removing America’s stains, you can rest assured that this laundry bar knows how to tackle your toughest stains.I was able to make a batch of laundry detergent. It's SO easy, I don't know why I waited so long to make it.
Directions:
Grate the Fels-Naptha bar. It was chunkier than I wanted, so I then put it in an old food processor to make it a finer powder.

When using the detergent to wash clothes, use 2-3 Tbsp. If you want to add an extra boost to your wash, add some oxy-clean.
Other uses for Fels-Naptha:
- Pretreating stains: Wet stain with water. Rub Fels-Naptha on stain. Sit for a few minutes. Wash garment as usual. I did this recently with my daughter's sweater. She got chocolate milk on her white hood-don't ask me how. I forgot about the stain. When I went to wash her clothes a few days later, I was mad at myself for being absent minded. I made the hood damp,
- Laundry booster: Grate part of the soap into the wash and wash as usual.
Have you ever made homemade laundry detergent?
How neat! Have you been able to calculate how much $ it saves?
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to make my own detergent, but my college roommate posted a laundry soap recipe on her blog. It looked so complicated that I never tried it. For me, the cost savings isn't really worth the time; however, my family has a lot of sensitivities to traditional detergents so I would make my own if we could avoid skin reactions.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Is Fels-Naptha a nontoxic detergent? I've never made my own laundry soap, we have a brand that we really love, but I do have several friends who like to make their own and love it!
ReplyDeleteI've used the bar as a stain remover and it works well.
