As you know, I make a grated version for homemade laundry detergent. I still use the grated version, but, decided that a liquid laundry detergent would be nice, especially for dark clothes. I wash a lot of my clothes in cold water and sometimes the powder version doesn't do well with the dark clothes.
I found this recipe for liquid laundry detergent on One Good thing by Jillee and I love it! It's simple to make and easy to use! Check out her site for some more helpful hints.
Here's the recipe:
Liquid Laundry Detergent
1/2 cup borax
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup Dawn Dish soap
4 cups HOT water
Pour the borax and washing soda into a gallon size container. Add the Dawn dish soap.
Slowly add the hot water.
Slowly fill the rest of the container with cold water.*
*You might have to let it sit for awhile and let it settle before completely filling the container.

Well, now that I made some, I have to go do some laundry!
If you try it, let me know how it works for you!
