Homemade Laundry Detergent

1 Box Washing Soda (bright yellow box)

1 Box 20 Mule Team Borax

1 Bar of Soap, shredded (some prefer Fels Naptha, but I like to use natural glycerin soap)

1 Cup Baking Soda

Mix in large container outdoors. Use 1/2 per load of laundry.

Note: I’ve found that using just plain borax saves me the hassle of mixing and makes my cloths just as clean or maybe even cleaner than using the above recipe. But feel free to try what works for you. When washing cloth diapers I se the same amount but I do add about a cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle.
