Mix 2 cups of suave conditioner & 6 cups of hot water well, until conditioner is dissolved completely. Add the 3 cups of vinegar, and mix well. Store in a large container {empty fabric softener container, empty large vinegar bottle, etc}

Laundry detergent (powder):

[Each batch yields approximately 32 ounces (between 32-64 loads based on how many Tbsp used per load]


What you will need:

• 1 bar of shaved bar soap (Ivory, ZOTE, Fels-Naptha)
• 1 cup of borax
• 1 cup of washing soda

Thoroughly stir together for 5 minutes and enjoy the results!  That’s it folks…seems too good to be true, but it is true indeed!

Laundry detergent (liquid):

What you will need:

• 1 bar of soap (any kind you want)
• 1 cup of Borax
• 1 cup of washing soda
• a big pot ( that holds more than 2 gallons)
• a grater
• a funnel
• a long spoon
• 2 empty gallon jugs/containers

Grate your bar of soap into your pot. Fill one gallon jug and pour water into pot with grated soap. Cook until the grated soap dissolves. Add the Borax and washing soda. Bring to a boil. It will coagulate. Turn off the heat. Add 1 gallon of cold water. Stir well. Pour 1 gallon of your detergent into each container. (A funnel helps tremendously.) Now you have 2 gallons of homemade laundry detergent.
