Homemade Super Laundry Sauce
« on: March 09, 2019, 06:26:25 pm »
Mom's Homemade Super Laundry Sauce

One Single tablespoon does a whole load of wash!

Here is an amazingly simple Do It Yourself detergent that doesn't leave any residue on clothing, gets nearly every stain known to man out the first time around and smells clean and fresh- oh and did I mention that it costs about $1.76 for 128 loads of laundry?

Since our teen son started working at a fast food restaurant, this has become our most-loved detergent recipe. His clothing was so saturated with heavy french fry and onion ring grease scent that even washing them in TIDE didn't take out the horrendous smell. I whipped up a half gallon of this detergent and washed his clothes while he was at school- he thought I'd gotten a new shirt from his boss at work! First time EVER that ALL of the smell finally came out of his clothes, without further à deux - here is my Super Laundry Sauce recipe!

As with ALL household/Soap/Detergent/ Cleaner recipes, please take the time to read through the ENTIRE recipe before starting it. It will save you loads of hassle with a recipe that doesn't set properly.

~ This makes 1/2 Gallon of concentrate ~
~ Btw, that's a full 128 loads of laundry!! ~

1 bar Fels Naptha (Yes, the ENTIRE Bar!)
1 cup 20 Mule Team Borax
1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (NOT BAKING SODA!!)
4 cups of hot water

I have made this and other variations of the same thing with more water. It works great. I make it regularly.

:clover:    :peace:    :clover:   I haven't seen or used Fels Naptha in a long time. I tend to buy a certain kind of detergent that makes my clothes smell good during the day and seems to work for me. Thanks for sharing this detergent with us.  :clover:    :peace:     :clover:

I too haven't heard of Fels Naptha either. I had to do an internet search to find out what it was.  Boy there sure are a ton of mixed reviews on it's level of naturalness. So I'm curious.... do you grate this bar of soap?  I'm intrigued.  I may have to watch a youtube video.  Anything I can do to save money is a win win for me.

I never heard of Fels Naptha either, I don't think any of my stores carry that. I will stick with my gain pods.

I never heard of Fels Naptha and just use Zoust for spot remover.  Works great.

Interesting... thanks for the recipe

I looked up Fels Naptha on search & it's sold on Amazon --Fels Naptha Laundry Bar and Stain Remover, 5 Ounce  $1.95

Get's rid of poison ivy, too.  I'm tempted to order it to see if it is like oxy clean & give my laundry stain fighting a boost :)

Thanks Again!

Look at the laundry soap area  , it's about  6 inches long   and about 3 x 2 inches   its the old laundry bar soap they used on wash boards on the river sides. or in a wash tub!  And for the person asked about grating it  YEP  !!  i use a box grater  like for making hash browns !  There also might  be some in the bar soap area  , i'seen it before .
