|
|
I want to try a homemade laundry soap recipe as I am always looking for ways to save some $$. There are several recipes out there. Just wondering if any of you have used a homemade recipe on cloth diapers, and how it worked out for you? I am thinking it might be tricky for CD's as I am dealing with both natural fibers and microfiber/pockets (our nighttime solution) AND very hard water here in colorado.
PS - this is the recipe I am leaning toward as it was recommended for CD'ing specifically; I found it here: http://www.elisaloves.com/2011/09/homemade-cloth-diaper-laundry-detergent.html
Equal parts of:
-baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
-oxygen cleaner (sodium percarbonate and sodium carbonate)
-washing soda (sodium carbonate)
Thanks so much!!

I always used my own laundry soap and didn't have any issues. _________________ Scentsory Creations ~stocking etsy only and customs only as I can~

I'm currently trying some liquid homemade detergent that a friend made - I believe she used the Duggar family's recipe. So far I really like it! We are mostly using prefolds, OBB Marathons, and Fuzzibunz pockets, so a mix of natural & synthetic materials. _________________ Allison
