EASY to make and works great!
You should be able to find all of these items at your grocery store.
This detergent is clean smelling, not over powering.
INGREDIENTS:
1- 4 lb 12 oz box Borax (2.15 kg or 76 oz) found in the detergent isle
1- 4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (1.81 kg) found in the cooking or detergent isle
1 - box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz (3 lb 7 oz) found in the detergent isle
3 bars of Fels-naptha soap, found in the detergent isle
(you can also use pink Zote soap instead of Fels-naptha)
2 containers of oxyclean or store brand oxyclean - try to get about 3.5 lbs total (1.58 kg) found in the detergent isle -- this is optional but the cleaner the better!
1 container Purex crystals -- this is optional also. I added these because I LOVE the fragrance.
 |
Start out by grating your Fels-naptha soap just like cheese.
You can use a food processor or just use your hand held grater, what ever you have.
**The Fels-naptha will dissolve in your washer even if you only use cold water**
Toss all ingredients in a 5 gallon bucket lined with a garbage bag.
This part makes your whole house smell great!
Once everything is mixed store soap however you like. 
Finished Product
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
USE 1 TBLSP. PER LOAD -- YES, REALLY!
Okay, maybe two for the REALLY dirty stuff.
NOTES:
I use Sun Oxygen. A 6 lb. container was $3.00 cheaper than a 3 lb. container of Oxyclean.
I use Purex Complete, Fresh Spring Water laundry enhancer crystals. They come in 3 scents.
I didn't have much luck with the 5 gallon bucket so I used two large containers and transferred the ingredients back and forth several times. For me this was easier. Maybe I wasn't using a heavy enough bag. Below is a picture of my storage container. I use two of these to mix in.
