I have mentioned in my previous posts about my homemade recipes.

I am LOVING my homemade, all natural deoderant. Since I get my coconut oil at less than HALF price from ebay, this recipe is CHEAPER than ANY all natural deoderant on the market. We are talking PENNIES....The only change I will make next time is to add a touch of Tea Tree oil. I put all of the ingredients into a pint jar. It hardens, just like regular deoderant and the warmth of my fingers allows me to scoop it out. Here is what I do:

1/2 c baking soda
1/2 c cornstarch
enough melted coconut oil to make a paste
(you can also add your tea tree oil and/or essential oils, which can be found in many stores and is a natural antesceptic!)

BTW, I have a friend that has succcessfully only used baking soda and coconut oil and has had great success too!

If you don't know about Aluminum and the links to it and breast cancer , you can click on the link to find out more.

Pour into pint jar while it is liquid. It will eventually harden. I have been using it exclusively now for a while and have enjoyed it, greatly!

I also have done a post about Making your own laundry and dishwashing detergents!
I have more to add to it (Yippee!)

All Natural Fabric softner!
Add 1 cup of Vinegar
It is all natural and works great!

Here is another one for BOTH top Loading and front loading washing machines:

Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap- Front or top load machine- best value

4 Cups hot tap water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup Washing Soda
½ Cup Borax

- Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.

-Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.

-Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel)

-Optional: You can add 10-15 drops of essential oil per 2 gallons. Add once soap has cooled. Ideas: lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil.

-Yield: Liquid soap recipe makes 10 gallons.

-Top Load Machine- 5/8 Cup per load (Approx. 180 loads)

-Front Load Machines- ¼ Cup per load (Approx. 640 loads)
