Stop Buying Laundry Detergent — This Cheap $6 Hillbilly Recipe (Lasts a Year)

Stop paying for what grandma did for FREE. 💰 Learn how to save up to $6,000 a year in your home, the Hillbilly way. 👉 https://thehillbillyway.com/v/billy If you've been buying laundry detergent your whole life, Billy Ray McCoy has news for you — and it might just make you a little mad. In this video, Billy Ray shares a simple homemade laundry soap recipe passed down through six generations in Sassafras Holler, made from just three ingredients you can find at any grocery store for around six dollars total: a grated bar of Zote or Fels-Naptha soap, washing soda, and optional borax. That one batch can last a two-person household the better part of a year, compared to over a hundred and fifty dollars spent on store-bought detergent or pods. He also explains the critical difference between soap and detergent, how to bake your own washing soda from cheap baking soda in your oven, and the one step most people skip that makes homemade laundry soap actually work — understanding hard water and how to soften it before washing. Billy Ray covers common mistakes like using cold water, overdosing the recipe, and using the dispenser drawer instead of the drum, and he gives honest advice on where this method has its limits, including front-loaders, wool fabrics, and bleach safety. #frugalliving #homesteading #diy #cleaninghacks #naturalcleaning #laundry #selfsufficiency #oldwaysofliving #budgetliving #hillbilly
