Sweet Smelling Laundry

I have two children who are potty trained during the day and by night they sleep heavy and soil their bed linens. One soaks right through their pullup and the other takes theirs off! This makes for stinky sheets. I make my own laundry soap for about a penny a load and add tea tree oil to the mix then I use white vinegar in the rinse....This works so much better than highly perfumed detergent and my clothes are clean and I have saved so much money.

The recipe is the one that is online from the Duggar family. However, I use 1/2 cup extra of each powder plus the tea tree oil. I absolutely love it. I will give it here but I do not take credit for the original recipe.

Here is the recipe that I use. Shave down and melt a bar of fels-naptha soap in 4 cup of water over med heat. Add 1 1/2 cups of Arm and Hammer supper washing soada and 1 cup Borax add all this to a five gallon bucket and fill with water and stir. Fill an empty container 1/2 full with the soap solution and the other 1/2 with water. Shake each time you use.

This makes me smile!!
