Powdered Laundry Detergent
2 cups finely grated soap (I used Fels Naptha)
1 cup washing soda
1 cup Borax
Mix well and store in an airtight plastic container.
Use 2 tablespoons per full load.
The kids love to grate it and mix it for me. It smells so sweet and clean. It is incredibly cheap. I don't know why we ever bought laundry soap.

What is washing soda?
I buy the arm and hammer brand. Comes in a yellow box and it is in the laundry soap aisle. You'll find it right next to the Borax usually. It can be added to laundry with regular detergent as a booster for getting out tough stains.
I love the homemade laundry soap!! I make the gel - easier for me to use with my front loader. A batch usually lasts me 3 months... LOVE IT!
FYI- Fels Naptha isn't vegetarian. :) I use a bar of Castile soap instead, when I make it... hmm... which I haven't done in awhile, actually! :)
Blessings,
Michele
