Do it Yourself Laundry Detergent

Finally! I am going to dive into DIY home solutions.  I have been wanting to do this for so long, and since Jason and I just started our home together, I figured this would be the perfect time to start. I am going to start my adventure with laundry detergent.  I love the idea because you know exactly what you are washing your clothes with, you can pick your own scent combinations, but most of all, it is extremely cost effective.  I didn't really how cost effective until I actually dove in and tried it myself...HERE follows my experience. :) First, I perused Pinterest and other google searches until I found a recipe that matched my need. 1.  Clean smelling laundry. 2.  Stain removal. 3.  Cost effectiveness. 4.  Large amount. 5.  EASY, low commitment. :) I adjusted the recipe I found because it made 5 gallons and that would last me and my tiny family about 5 years so I chose to adjust to make about a gallon....
