ALL-NATURAL LAUNDRY DETERGENT (1-YEAR SUPPLY)



All-Natural Laundry Detergent (1-Year Supply) image

This stuff is wonderful! Very economical and perfect for people with sensitive skin/allergies or those who wish to "go green," and it really works! Soap flakes are often available at craft stores. Use whatever essential oils you like. Lavender, orange, lemon, and grapefruit are really nice for laundry. Recipe from one of my husband's classmates.
