Homemade Laundry Detergent

 I have been making my own laundry detergent for some time, but I wanted to give it somewhat of a twist. I had been making liquid but wanted to try some powder this time, Last week I had a crisis where I ran out of the Fels Naptha soap that I normally use to I substituted with Oil of Olay. The smell was amazing. So after browsing the laundry aisle at Wal-Mart I decided to go with the same products but adding a few more.. 




An entire box of:
and a bar of Oil of Olay Soap (grated)

I added the ingredients a little at a time and stirred as I went. When I had the entire list of products in the bucket, I picked it up and stirred it around really well. I then used the empty Purex Bottle and Oxi Clean container and filled it with the finished product. I have been using 2 TBSP per load and so far it's great! My clothes look just as well now as they did when I was using the name brand stuff! This soap does not suds since the products listed are stain boosters so don't be alarmed. It took me a while to get used to the fact that the homemade ones do not suds and at first I did catch myself using more than I should have.

This should last you quiet a long time

I recently had the pleasure of working with  Kalorik  and do a review of their  Kalorik Steam Mop . This couldn't have came at a better time. I'm in the "New Year, New You" mode right now and there are lots of things I want to change. Harsh Chemical use is one of those things. The Kalorik Steam Mop works off of ordinary tap water! No detergents, soaps or chemicals needed! You can use the Kalorik Steam Mop to clean linoleum, ceramic tile, stone, marble, carpet, sealed hardwood, parquet and more! It's also very light weight and easy to use! I spoke with Kalorik via email on a Wednesday morning, and less than 48 hours my product arrived via FedEx! Two Thumbs Up!
