Lots have been happening, but I'll fill you in another day...Today is Tuesday Tips

So much has been happening from I finially did the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, I also ran a Warrior Dash, and now doing a fitness bootcamp monday thru friday. All that will be for another day. Today's tips go along with laundry since that's what I worked on today. Here are the ingredients for homemade laundry detergent

Homemade Laundry detergent
6 cups of water
1/3 bar of Fels Naptha laundry soap (grated)
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup of Borax


 Heat 6 cups of water and grated soap in a large pot until dissolved. Stir in washing soda, and Borax. Mix and heat until dissolved then boil 15 mins. Remove from heat , in a 3-5 gallon bucket add 1 quart of hot water, then add soap mixture. Mix. Then add enough cold water to make 2 gallons which is about 6 liters of water. Mix until blended, let sit for 24 hours to gel up.

 

 Another quick tip is to remove soap scum from your washing machine pour a gallon of vinegar. Run washer one cycle without clothes of course.
