In the quest to save money, DIY (Do it yourself) can sometimes save a bundle. I plan on sharing various DIY money savers in future blogs. Today, I will focus on a recent project of mine, making my own detergent. I have heard of making my own cleaners many times, and finally decided to try it. About a month ago, I bought my ingredients and tried it out. So far, it works just as well as the store bought variety and costs a lot less. If you do a google search for home made detergent, you can find a dozen recipes. The one I recommend is at a website called DIY Natural. The directions are very simple and there are only three ingredients. Plus is is made with simple natural ingredients for those of you who worry about chemicals.
I also plan on making my own dishwashing detergent once my supply runs out. Since it uses many of the same ingredients as laundry detergent, I will not have to spend any money. I found a recipe that looks good at yahoo finance. I will let you know how it works.
How do you DIY to save money?
Update: I tried the dishwashing detergent and it works great
