Making Laundry Soap - Fail

by 123pizza on November 5, 2008

Not too long ago I made my own laundry soap. I went online and found a basic recipe, bought the ingredients, and in no time I had my own laundry soap.

I was ecstatic because if it passed the kid test then I could make my own soap much cheaper than buying it. The kid test is making sure my middle child doesn’t break out in hives. I can only use All-Free or Purex (no dye or fragrance) because otherwise he breaks out in hives.

I am happy to report he passed the soap test. Yay! However, I didn’t. I forgot I have to be careful with laundry soap also. Darn. I’m not quite sure what to do about that. Obviously I won’t be washing my clothes with the soap because hives aren’t fun. They are itchy, icky, and irritating.

Does anyone else have problems with laundry detergent? What do you use? Is it affordable? (I have a load of laundry I do every.single.day.of.the.week.) Do you make your own? If so, what is your recipe?
