| yes i use 1 cup zote soap flakes (or you can grate a bar ),2 cups borax, and 2 cups arm & hammer washing soda, you can add oxy clean to help whiten . 2-3 tbsp per load. everything is in the laundry aisle. it doesn't suds up but still cleans. no one has complained yet. |

| I use an ACV shampoo that REALLY helps with Zeus' flea allergy: -1 cup liquid soap (can be natural...but I use blue Dawn to help fight fleas) -1 cup apple cider vinegar (Mother's/natural) -1 quart water I know that some people use glycerin (1/3 cup, I think) but I haven't added it.

| I don't do the shampoo but I do make homemade detergent. Similar to the above recipe but I add a few more ingredients.

| 1 5 gallon bucket with lid from Lowes (a Rubbermaid container will work too, just something large enough to mix) 1 box of Borax 1 bar of Fels-Naptha laundry soap. (Buy a cheese grater you will only use for making this laundry soap. The bar needs to be grated. I bought a flat cheese grater that lays flat over the top opening of my 5 gallon bucket) 1 box Arm & Hammer super washing soda. 4 lbs of regular baking soda 2 regular size or 1 super size oxy clean. I buy biz though most of the time because I usually have a coupon Mix well and you only have to use a little per wash (2-4 tablespoons). *ok, the above is the general make your own detergent. But in mine, I add 2 more things.... 1 bottle of the laundry crystals they just came out with. I add those to give it a good smell. I buy the purple crystals made buy Purex and it smells amazing. I have also added the downey unstoppables. Sometimes, I add one box of Clorox 2 for a little more stain boost. Works great.
