I think I do pretty well tho :)
But I think any mom, especially of boys, can agree that the stanky laundry never ends!
Well, I have no remedy for those piles (if you do, let me know)...but I do have a solution for your pockets. Buying cleaning products can add up quickly but it's a necessary spend to keep the family clean and germ-free....But you can make an easy switch that will ease the budget and keep a little change in your bank, while also being environmentally friendly and safe for all ages and skin types.
This naturally deep cleaning detergent is the only laundry detergent we've used for over a year now so I know it works :) (If it works on dirty cloth diapers, it works on ANYTHING) It's easy and inexpensive and you can make it with or without adding any other liquid detergent. It's made with a few simple ingredients that can be found on the laundry aisle of most grocery and superstores.
This recipe is repeated about a million times all over the internet but I'm sharing it here in case you haven't found it yet. Ya welcome! :)
You'll need:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup Super Washing Soda
1 cup Borax
1 bar Fels-Naptha soap (grated or chopped into small pieces)
3 1/2 gallons of water
1 bottle of your favorite liquid detergent (optional)
a squeaky clean five gallon bucket
Bring a big pot of water to a boil (approx. 8 qts), add chopped soap and let it boil until all the soap is dissolved. Pour soap solution and all remaining ingredients into a five gallon bucket. Stir well and cover. Move it to an area where it wont be disturbed and let it sit. I'd say 4 hours minimum but I usually let mine sit over night. Stir it up again, it'll be thick and clumpy at first. Some clumps may remain and that's ok. Use it just like you'd use regular liquid detergent. I use a 1/2 cup size measuring cup as a scoop.
Enjoy not having to purchase laundry detergent for a few months :)
P.S. The ingredients cost under $10 and will make more than one batch, so you wont have to keep buying these items either. (The soap is the only exception but it's only about .97/bar....I have used other soaps in a pinch but Fels is specifically for laundry so I like it better :))
