Making your own laundry detergent has become much more popular the last couple of years.
There are lots of reasons for this, I am sure, and they are varied.
One big reason is cost. Laundry detergent has gotten quite expensive, at least for some brands, and many people learn how to make laundry soap so they can save money.
For others, you may be more interested in protecting the environment and/or your family's health by using more natural ingredients.
No matter the reason though, people are sometimes scared to make your own laundry soap because they aren't sure the recipes provided will actually clean their clothes well.
That's why I encourage you to share your recipes for laundry soap below that have worked for you, so that people can gain some courage to try it out for themselves.
