Powdered Laundry Detergent

I made my own!

Reasons to make your own:

1. It's cheaper.

2. It's better for the environment.

3. It's cheaper!

4. It's quick and easy.

Here's the recipe. It works great and our clothes are nice and clean. Try it for yourself. I believe I will be making our own dishwasher detergent next.

Powdered Laundry Detergent
3 cups Borax
2 cups Baking Soda
2 cups Washing Soda
2 cups Bar soap (finely grated)

I use 3 Tablespoons of powder per full load.
2T = 1/8 cup
If you have a regular sized load, then you may want to use just 2 T of detergent.

Make sure you use Ivory soap or Fels Naptha bar soap. I used Ivory soap.
