Laundry soap

1 bar of naturally made soap (I made my own and used lemon scents), grated
2 cups borax
2 cups washing soda (different from baking soda. Can be found on the laundry aisle at the grocery store)
1 cup baking soda

Mix together ingredients in large container. You can also use various scents for the soap you use. Also, you can add in a few drops of matching essential oils. Shake container very well. Use 1/4 cup per load of wash.

Tub Scrub

1 cup baking soda
1/4 cup salt
15-20 drops essential oils (I used orange)


Pour all into a bowl, put lid on, and shake very well. Put a little of the dry mixture on a scrubbie and clean the tub. No fumes to avoid, no need to wear gloves, and works just as well as the name brand scrubs that can harm your tub or assault your senses!
