In an effort to move towards simplicity and intentional living and more natural/less processed life, I am hoping to purge the chemicals I'm bringing into the home through cleaning products and pre-packaged/processed food. I am a tabula rasa for this new experience and am looking for practical advice and true and tried recipes (to aid in my success!).
Anything that anyone can share?!

Homemade Laundry Soap
1/3 bar Fels Naptha or other type of soap
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax powder
~You will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~
Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir. Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel. You use 1/2 cup per load.
