Laundry detergent

Thank you to the video I seen on here that made this concoction!

In the video she made 6months to a year supply of laundry detergent for her family of 10 so her supply was 3 times the amount of what this is.

I used:

1lb bag of Borax

1lb bag of foca laundry detergent

1lb bag of Ariel multipurpose laundry detergent (downy)

1lb bag of 123 laundry detergent

1 bar of Zote detergent flakes ( the white one)

2lb bucket of Oxi Clean

I mixed everything in a Home Depot bucket and now my boyfriend is rewashing literally all of our clothes 🤣

... Read moreOkay, so you've seen the hype about making your own laundry detergent, right? I was skeptical at first, but after seeing a video on a *viral laundry mix recipe for big families*, I just had to try it. And let me tell you, it's been a total game-changer for my household budget and our clothes! Seriously, this DIY laundry soap is not just a trend; it's a legitimate 'Clean Girl Routine' hack that actually works. I started with a smaller batch than the original video (she made enough for a family of ten for a year!), but even my version, using a 1lb bag of Borax, Foca, Ariel, and 123 laundry detergent each, plus a bar of Zote flakes and a 2lb bucket of Oxi Clean, is going to last us ages. The key is really getting those powerful components together. I know a lot of people search for homemade laundry detergent with Foca and Ariel, and for good reason—these brands are known for their cleaning power, especially the Ariel Aroma Original I used. And the Foca laundry detergent big bag is perfect for this kind of bulk recipe! Mixing it all up in a big Home Depot bucket felt so satisfying. It’s like creating your own secret weapon against dirt and grime. What I love about this jabon zote flakes mix is how effective it is. Zote soap, whether you use grated Zote soap or the convenient flakes, is fantastic for tackling tough stains. Paired with Oxi Clean, which I learned is a great laundry booster and multi-purpose cleaner, it brightens whites and colors without being harsh. Many people specifically look for Zote blanco laundry flakes for that extra brightening power. The result? My boyfriend, who usually doesn't pay much attention to laundry, was so impressed he started rewashing literally all our clothes! He said they felt softer and looked brighter than ever. It's truly a testament to the power of this hispanic laundry powder blend. I get asked about how much to use. For a regular load, I find just 1-2 scoops is plenty. You'll quickly figure out what works best for your machine and load size. This recipe is designed to be super concentrated, so a little goes a long way. And don't worry, it dissolves well in both hot and cold water. Plus, knowing it's a phosphate-free option, like some of the detergents I used, gives me extra peace of mind. If you’re on the fence about trying a homemade laundry detergent with Ariel or homemade laundry detergent with Foca, just go for it! It's incredibly cost-effective, reduces plastic waste, and gives you control over the ingredients. Plus, it's pretty fun to make your own laundry flakes mix. Give your clothes the 'Clean Girl Routine' treatment and see the difference!
