Make your own laundry detergent
Soap’s up: Gowithflo’s Instructables post on making your own laundry detergent is easy to follow and totally worth trying. Pick up the ingredients at your local grocery store, blend them together in a food processor, and enjoy squeaky clean duds for an estimated cost of a mere two cents per load. Not only will you save some cash, but you’ll also cut some packaging out of your life—an attractive extra.
Be sure to read the comments, too—they include a good discussion of ingredients and a recipe for making your own dishwasher soap.
