Well hello, I'm Heather from the blog Banana Pudding and I finally whipped up some of my very own laundry and dishwasher detergent! So I just had to share!This little DIY project will save you a lot of money and takes no time to go buy the ingredients and mix it up.
Ingredients needed:
Borax 4lb 12oz for $4.09
Washing Soda 3lb 7oz for $3.00
LemiShine 12oz for $2.59
Vinegar 32 floz $.73
2 bars of soap for $.88
coarse kosher salt 48oz for $1.75.
**1 batch= 50 loads for both laundry and dishes
**With supplies above I have enough to make at least 6-7 batches, which is 300-350 loads, which is 150ish loads of dishes and laundry each, at a grand total of about $13.00!!!
Dishwashing Detergent: 1 Batch
1 cup of borax
1 cup of washing soda
1/2 cup of salt
1/2 cup of lemishine, some people use citric acid but I didn't
Mixed in a 32oz plastic container with lid and shook until thoroughly mixed. Use a tablespoon per load. Added up to about $1.89/batch.
Laundry Detergent: 1 Batch
1 cup of borax
1 cup of washing soda
1 bar of soap, grated, I used dial because it was the cheapest
Mixed in a 32oz plastic container with lid and shook until thoroughly mixed. Use a tablespoon per load. Added up to about $1.32/batch
It is that simple to have clean laundry, for cheap! The laundry sadly doesn't have a scent, maybe I will try a more scented bar soap next time. Until then I can afford my favorite fabric softner! :)
So happy to have a clean apartment! I hope you'll use these DIY tips to help make your house a little cleaner, too! With it being this easy and cheap, anyone can do it!

Thank you so much for letting me be a guest blogger!! I hope people can use this to save themselves some money when times get tough. :)
What is the vinegar for? Or am I missing something?
The vinegar is a natural rinse aid. I thought I had that in the post but I guess I left it out! But it is much cheaper than using a store bought rinse aid and makes everything have a nice clean and shiny look!
