Laundry Detergent..

I have been making my own laundry detergent for over a year now..and I absolutely love it! The savings are amazing and it really works well. I usually make the liquid recipe but this time I decided to mix it up a bit and try the powdered one instead.
Here are the ingredients:



First: I grated the bar of Felsnaptha soap..


Next I added: 1 cup Borax, 1 cup Washing soda and 1/2 cup of Oxi-clean ...



Then I mixed all that together and then I wanted to make the grated soap finer so I put the mixture into the food processor. I only have a small one, so I did this in small batches.



I then put it all in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. You use 2 tsp. per load of laundry.. I found that the scoop that came in the Oxiclean is exactly 2tsp's. So I am using that to measure!



This picture is the recipe DOUBLED. I am excited to see if this works better than the liquid or not.. it is definitely much easier to use thats for sure! I will keep you posted...
