Homemade liquid detergent

RE: Homemade liquid detergent
I make this using almost the exact recipe, however use fels naptha soap as its designed for pretreating stains and was once used as a home remedy for skin conditions like dermatitis and treating poison ivy. I also add lavender or orange or other oils to add a nice smell. Works well and goes a long way… so money saving!
Didin't look at how they make theirs but probably in almost the same way.

Its not better than others, but certainly does as well. I didn't notice any difference and have used branded detergents in between batches without noticing any difference in how clean they are.

RE: Homemade liquid detergent
thanks for the link UKS, that looks very easy to do. Is there much in the way of fumes when you make up a batch?

Used the home made liquid detergent to day. So far so good i can see no difference between home made and shop brought. The only difference i can see is the price my 9 litres cost me £1.18 pence our usual detergent would cost £40.32 for the same quanity.

RE: Homemade liquid detergent
I can't find actual borax anywhere. Will borax subsitute be ok as it's all I can obtain.

Looking forward to trying this though as I have very bad exzema & I think it may be down to the laundry liquid we use. I've tried changing but no joy so I'm hoping one without as many chemicals in might be a bit better.
