Homemade~Cheaper

Here are the recipes that a few of you have asked for!   I hope you like them like we do. They have saved us a bunch of money!!!  Hope you all have a wonderful day!!  God Bless!!  If you have any questions feel free to ask!  I'd love to hear your comments and what ya'll thought if you try it!  Thanks!!


Homemade Fabric Softener
What You'll Need:
6 cups Hot water
3 cups white vinegar
2 cups Suave Refreshing Waterfall Conditioner (or other favorite scent)
1 empty container (I like the gallon gatorade containers!)
What You'll Do:
Mix or shake the conditioner & hot water together  until conditioner is dissolved completely. Add the vinegar and mix well. Store in a lg container (empty fabric softner container, empty lg vinegar bottle, empty gal jugs of gatorade containers & etc...)! Use approx. 2 Tbsp. in the fabric softner spot in your laundry washer.


Homemade Laundry Soap
What You'll Need:
4 Tbsp. Borax
4 Tbsp. Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
3~4 Tbsp. Dawn Dish Soap (The dark blue is what is most recommended.)
5 cups boiling water
1/2~3/4 cup boughten laundry detergent of your choice (We like the Tide w/febreeze in it & if you watch you can get it for a good price on sale and using coupons.) 
1 empty gallon jug
What You'll Do:
Put the Borax, Washing Soda, & Dawn dish soap in the gallon jug. Pour in 5 cups boiling water and shake till all stuff is dissolved. Let cool!!  Once cool then add 1/2~3/4 cup Boughten laundry detergent  and then add Cold water up to close to the top (leave a bit of room.) You will have to add the cold water very slowly or add it quick and let the soap suds just run out. Its okay for that to happen.
