Household expenses can sometimes get way out of hand if we don’t scrimp on every purchase. We often wonder how we can spend so much on just the basic necessities such as shampoo and soap. However, we can actually save some of that hard-earned cash by making our very own homemade laundry detergent.

There are numerous benefits in making your own laundry detergent. One is that it will be cheaper than buying detergents. Of course, you might have to invest some money on the ingredients, plus you need to give some of your time and energy to make the laundry detergent, but you can produce a lot in one session. Your finished product from one session can last you for a couple of months to several months depending on the quantity of your ingredients. Another advantage is that you can select the gentle ingredients to protect your clothes from wearing out too soon. Finally, making your own detergent can be a good hobby for stay-at-home moms or dads.
