Welcome to Cindy's Recipe Vault

This is my recipe blog. I love to try new recipes, and I love to try new recipes on my family and friends. Sometimes people will want my recipe, so this blog is a way for you to get my tried and true recipes.
One thing you might notice, I use Honey in place of sugar. Less processed is what I like.

Enjoy the recipes,
Cindy

Natural Laundry Soap

Making your own laundry soap is so easy it will make you laugh... and its so much cheaper.  Find ingredients in the laundry aisle of your local grocery store.

76-oz box Borax
2-lb box baking soda
55-oz box washing soda
12 oz soap (Hand grated hand bar soap is best)

Combine ingredients and us 2 T for regular loads and up to 1/4 cup for greasy/grungy clothes.  Works fine in high effeciency washing machines.

Note:  At warm and hot water temperatures, Borax gets partially converted to hydrogen peroxide, so any dark or colored clothes should be washed in cool or cold water.

White Vinegar works great in the rinse cycle.
