My new laundry and dishwasher detergent

So, in my trying to save money in all different directions, I have made my own laundry and dish detergent. I got the recipe from the Internet and have tried both now and they both seem to work awesome! Grandma sent an article that the nuns in Minnesota use this exact recipe and if the nuns can do it, so can I! I thought that everyone might want the recipe, so here it is!

For the Landry soap - go to "The Duggars" website. For those of you who don't know who the Duggars are, they are the people that have 18 kids (crazy people!). http://www.duggarfamily.com/recipes.html

For the dish detergent, use one Tablespoon of Washing Soda (not Baking Soda) and one tablespoon of Borax. That's it...

The recipe for the laundry soap costs less than $2 for 10 gallons of detergent and for the dish detergent it's less than $.04 per load.

Thought everyone would like to save some money! Let me know if you have any questions, have fun being GREEN!!!
