You will only need three ingredients for this laundry detergent recipe:

You can either grate the bar of soap or run it through the food processor. You want it to be finely ground. Mix all three ingredients together, store in an airtight jar, and that’s it. For each standard load of laundry, you will need 2 to 4 tablespoons of laundry soap.
Seriously, that’s it. Didn’t I tell you this recipe was crazy simple?
