The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Laundry Detergent
1 bar Dove soap, unscented
1 C. Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
½ Cup Borax
Grate soap with a grater. Mix all ingredients.
For light load, use 1 Tablespoon. For heavy or heavily soiled load, use 2 Tablespoons.
Yields: 3 Cups detergent. (Approx. 40 loads)
We have been using this for awhile now and it works great, even on Jonathan's diapers when we use white vinegar with it to help disinfect. We save a lot of money by making and using this detergent and Mommy really likes how well it cleans our clothes. We made big batches of it at a time and store it in a gallon bucket with a tight fitting lid. You don't want the little guys to get into this as they shouldn't put the Borax in their mouth.
Love Always,
Mommy
