Fels Naptha

Members Were Sparked

Fels Naptha is the best laundry stain remover I have EVER found and it is dirt cheap! It comes in a bar soap with a white paper wrapper and costs a dollar at Walmart. I have used it to successfully take out makeup, grass stains, and all kinds of other crud.

I save money by making my laudry detergent. I use one bar of Fels Naptha soap, 1/2 cup of Washing Soda, and 1/2 cup of Borax. Grate the soap and combine with the washing soda and borax. It works great and so much cheaper than purchasing ready made from the store. :)
