Duggar Laundry Soap Recipe

The Duggar family is famous for many things, and one of them is their Duggar laundry soap recipe.

With 19 kids, and a commitment to lead a debt free life, the Duggars have had to figure out how to make the most of the money they have.

One of the ways they do this is by making their own homemade laundry soap, instead of buying a commercial product.

On the Duggar's website they provide two recipes for their laundry soap, one a liquid and the other a powder.

The ingredients for both the liquid and powdered laundry detergent recipe include:

1 bar laundry soap (they use Fels Naptha)

1 cup washing soda

1/2 cup borax

50-70 drops of essential oil (optional)

You can check out the website for full directions, but with just these few ingredients they make 10 gallons of liquid laundry detergent!

With those 10 gallons they say they can do either 180 loads of laundry for a top loading washing machine, or 640 loads in a front loading washing machine when they make it into a liquid, which appears to stretch it even farther than when they leave it powdered.

The say each batch costs $2, meaning they do between 180-640 loads of laundry for $2.

Wow! That is a cost savings!

I can see why the Duggars, and frankly anyone, might consider making their own laundry detergent when you can save this much money.

So, do you make your own laundry detergent? If so, you can share your homemade laundry soap recipe here, or see even more recipes already submitted.

Didn't make my clothes as bright as Tide
by: Stephanie

I made homemade detergent for maybe 6 months. Sorry ladies, I had to go back to Tide. I did save $$ on detergent, but my clothes were just not bright. I used the Duggar's recipe.

This is a great recipe
