Wrinkle Release Spray

After some searching I found a magic wand or spray that is, I don't iron unless its for a crafting project so here you have it:

1/3 cup liquid fabric softener (go cheap)
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup water
Mix your three ingredients and pour them into a spray bottle. Then take your wrinkled garment, place it on a hanger, spray it thoroughly (though not soaking), and give it a shake.

Homemade Laundry Soap Detergent Recipe

Here's another Homemade HOW TO for all you savvy girls out there:

For the bar soaps required in the recipes, you could try Fels-Naptha, Ivory soap, Sunlight bar soap, Kirk’s Hardwater Castile, and Zote. Don’t use heavily perfumed soaps.

1 quart Water (boiling)
2 cups Bar soap (grated)
2 cups Borax
2 cups Washing Soda
Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.
Pour the soap water into a large, clean pail and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.
Cover pail and use 1/4 cup for each load of laundry. Stir the soap each time you use it (will gel).

4 cups of equal 1 quart
4 quarts equal a gallon

Homemade Dishwaher Detergent

Here is another homemade how to for you Savvy Girls out there:

Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
Into a 32 oz bottle with screw top (clear vinegar bottle) add:
1/2 c borax
1/2 c super washing soda
1/2 c salt
3 envelopes unsweetened lemon drink mix (Dollar General sells them for around 10 cents each)
Fill bottle nearly to top with warm water, cap, and shake well. I leave it sitting out to further dissolve. Shake well before each use. I use vinegar in my rinse dispenser. This solution smells really nice, too.
