So, I surprised myself by taking on the task of making homemade laundry detergent.
And it luckily coincided with laundry day and two new sets of sheets.
Here’s how I made the detergent, and whythe results really surprised me.

The Results
After spending about $20 on supplies, I was feeling pretty down.
Astore-bought liquid detergentwould usually cost me about $7, and none of the work of making it.

But I wasn’t ready to give in just yet.
All in all, I made a quart of detergent.
This easily competes with the 32 loads I supposedly get out of my 42oz of store-bought liquid detergent.
So, logistically, it holds its own.
But what about the actual cleaning results?
I would say that these loads of laundry were indistinguishable from any other load I’ve ever done.
They washed well, felt and smelled clean, and turned out all the same.
It was another regular day in the laundromat, which I wasn’t expecting.
But everything went off without a hitch and I had a great feeling of success for it.
