recipe request: Homemade laundry detergent?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here made their own laundry detergent

before? I was wanting a recipe for something simple

that I could make to get the job done, that would

also be environmentally safe for my septic system

and the wild creatures around.

Currently I buy the enviro-brands that are safe,

[7th Generation, BioKleen, etc..]

but they sure do cost a lot more than those harsh,

smelly regular laundry soaps, like Tide, Gain, ALL, etc.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

We use this recipe at home. It works out really well.

other cleaners.
