Homemade Laundry Detergent

To save on our expense of laundry detergent I decided to make our own.  We have been using ALL Free and Clear since it does not make Liberty break out.

We have been very happy with the homemade stuff.  I included the recipe in case anyone wants to try it.  I made half the bath the first time, just in case we didn't like, and that $10 batch lasted a month.  It was not difficult to use a cheese grater and shred the Ivory soap.  The laundry smelled so fresh and clean. I also ordered the scent Quiver from Scentsy and added it to our second batch.  It smells SO good.

We also noticed how clear Liberty's skin has been as well, since we started using it, which is a wonderful benefit.

Here is the recipe:
