Laundry Detergent

Finally got around to buying the right things at the store to make some homemade laundry detergent.  I looked up a couple recipes all of what were just slight variations of the same thing.  I did opt for the powder versus the liquid.  It seemed easier to make and store.  It would be interesting to see if there is a performance difference I suppose.


This is the recipe I ended up using.  Basically 2 parts Baking Soda, 2 parts Bar Soap (flaked), 1 part Washing Soda, and 1 part Borax with the borax optional.


I realized I only took one rather stupid picture of the soap I grated.  I used Kirk's Castille bar soap and a hand grater on the smaller notches.  I also added some grapefruit essential oil.


I'll have to follow up how this turns out.
