Ingredients 1 bar (or 4.5 ounces) of shaved bar soap (a homemade laundry bar, Dr. Bronner’s, Ivory, ZOTE, or Fels-Naptha) 1 cup of borax 1 cup of washing soda Directions Thoroughly stir together for 5 minutes and enjoy the results! You can take this a step further and blend the mixture in a blender or food processor to create a powder that will dissolve easily even in cold water. (Just be sure to let the dust settle before removing the lid of your blender or food processor so you don’t inhale the fine particles.) Store in a sealed container with a small scoop. Use 1 Tbsp per load (or 2-3 Tbsp for large or heavily soiled loads). Homeade Laundry Ingredients I purchased all these ingredients at my local grocery store: 1 – 55 ounce box of Arm & Hammer® Super Washing Soda = $3.99 1 – 76 ounce box of 20 Mule Team® Borax = $4.99 1 – 10 pack of 4.5 ounce bars of Ivory® Bar Soap Note on ingredients: use whatever ingredients you are comfortable with. Many people cannot afford natural soaps, while others make their own. Brands of commonly used bar soaps include Pure & Natural®, Fels-Naptha® and/or ZOTE®. Both ZOTE® and Fels-Naptha® are made for and sold as a “laundry bar.” If you’re looking for a pure, natural solution you’ll need to go with a handcrafted soap so you can be sure of its ingredients.diynatural/homemade-laundry-detergent-soap/
