Making your own laundry detergent...

This past weekend, finally got myself to make a fresh batch of homemade laundry detergent. I had all the ingredients in hand. I decided to make the powder version. 

Here is the recipe I did

4lbs of Borax
4lbs washing soda ( Arm & Hammer brand)
2 Bars of Fels Naptha soap
1 small container of Oxyclean ( optional)

Grate your soap bar first. Then toss all ingredients in a big bucket. Love the smell of the detergent!! Mix all and put in a jar or container. Since I have a HE washer I put it directly into the washer drum instead of dispenser. I use 2 tablespoon per a load. All I can say I love it!!!
