Last Saturday, after seeing a friend's post, I made my own laundry soap. I have made a double batch for around $20 as I already had a big bucket of Oxyclean and a big bag of the baking soda too. I have about 30 pounds of laundry soap made. It smells good in the wash but doesn't leave a perfumy smell when the clothes are dried. I placed a tablespoon measuring spoon in the soap with the instructions to the kids to use no more than 2 tablespoons for their load. It will be fun to see how long this laundry soap lasts. I always hate the price of laundry soap in the stores and now I may never buy it pre-mixed again.

I wonder why I'm itchy everywhere my clothes touch my body?
