PROJECT: NEVER BUY LAUNDRY DETERGENT AGAIN

PROJECT: NEVER BUY LAUNDRY DETERGENT AGAIN

INTRODUCTION:

LEFT: ARM AND HAMMER SUPER WASHING SODA $3.24 AND PUREX FELS-NAPTHA $1.15.  THIS YIELDS 160 TABLESPOONS OF DETERGENTS OR 160 LOADS OF LAUNDRIES.  A SUCCESSFUL $5.00 EXPERIMENT LEAVING CLOTHES CLEAN, FRESH, AND SOFT!

RIGHT: GAIN LIQUID DETERGENT $9.97 AND ULTRA DOWNY FABRIC SOFTENER $9.97.  THIS YIELDS 64 LOADS OF LAUNDRIES RESULTING IN CLOTHES THAT MAY STILL HAVE ODOR/STAINS. 

CONCLUSION:

I HATED HAVING DEODORANT STAINS OR ODOR ON THE CLOTHES AFTER 2 HOURS OF WASHING AND DRYING WHEN USING REGULAR DETERGENTS.   MY HUSBAND PLAYS SPORTS SO HIS CLOTHES HAVE GRASS STAINS AND RETAIN ATHLETE ODORS; BUT THIS HOMEMADE DETERGENT TRULY SOLVED MY PROBLEMS.  I DON'T HAVE TO USE BLEACH OR WASH THE CLOTHES TWICE.  SAVE ME WATER, TIME, ELECTRICITY, WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CLOTHES.   

IF I WASH THREE LOADS OF LAUNDRY ON AVERAGE PER WEEK (52 weeks in a year times 3 loads of laundry per week), THEN THIS HOMEMADE DETERGENT WILL LAST ME A YEAR (156 LOADS AT LESS THAN $5.00 PER YEAR).  I USE ONE TABLESPOON OF DETERGENT PER LARGE LOAD OF LAUNDRY 

IF I WASH THREE LOADS OF LAUNDRY ON AVERAGE PER WEEK (52 weeks in a year times 3 loads of laundry per week, THEN THESE STORE BOUGHT DETERGENTS WILL COST ME MORE THAN $60 PER YEAR (NOT INCLUDING WATER, TIME, AND ELECTRICITY) SINCE I MIGHT HAVE TO WASH MY CLOTHES TWICE.  

OVERALL, I WILL BE SAVING $55.00 A YEAR OR AN EQUIVALENT TO A REALLY GOOD STEAK DINNER!

 EASY INSTRUCTION: 

COMBINE ARM & HAMMER SUPER WASHING SODA WITH THE PUREX FEL-NAPTHA (GRATE THIS WITH CHEESE GRATER).
