Make your own detergent!

This week I learned how to make my own laundry detergent. It's easy, affordable and pretty good for the environment. Best of all- it's cloth diaper safe, but affordable to use on all my clothes.

Here is the recipe:

1 bar grated Kirk's Castile Soap (which is made with coconut oil, so it helps with yeast!)
1 cup Borax
1 cup Super Washing Soda

Mix it all up, and there you have it. Done.

The recipe says to use 2 tablespoons per load, but I will use slightly less for the diapers. Make sure to wash in hot hot hot water to get it all rinsed out!
