FELS-NAPTHA giveaway!

 (Disclosure:  I received a bar of Fels-Naptha for my review.  All opinions shared are my own and are not persuaded in any way.)



 I have always seen the FELS-NAPTHA bar in the laundry aisle but have never actually used it.  Being a Purex Insider I was given the opportunity to finally get to try it out.  When I received it, I noticed it had a good scent to it.  Like a fresh, clean scent.  I started researching ways to use it.  You can use it as a stain remover by wetting the bar and rubbing it on the stain.  You can use it as a booster by grating some into the load of wash.  I decided to make my own detergent with it.  I have always wanted to make my own detergent, so why wait?  I had all the ingredients now. 




 For the recipe that I found and tried, I used:

  • 1 bar of FELS-NAPTHA 
  • 1 cup of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
  • 1 cup of Borax
  • 1 cup of Purex Crystals




I used a knife and cut the bar of soap up into cubes.  After that I put it in a blender to get it nice and fine.  Then I added the rest of the ingredients to the blender and mixed it all together.


I had an empty Purex Crystal bottle that works perfectly as the container for the detergent.  The top is also a great size to measure out the mixture.   This detergent smells really good. 



This recipe does not make the water bubbly.  The water is soapy, I had to feel it for myself to be sure.  After this load of laundry was complete, I looked at the clothes.  They look clean.  They smell really good.  This is definitely a detergent that I will be making again.  And I think it is pretty cheap.  I still have pretty full boxes of the Borax and Washing Soda so all I will need to purchase again is the FELS-NAPTHA bar which is really cheap.
