Home Made Laundry Detergent

My secret recipe for making laundry detergent

2 cups baking soda (Arm & Hammer)
1.5 cups borax – (20 Mule Team)
1 cup soap flakes (buy them or grate your own)
1 teaspoon essential oil (lavender, lemon, grapefruit, eucalyptus, tea tree, sweet orange, etc)

Mix oil into powder with whisk.

 Direction for use:  Use 1/8 cup per wash load.
Never Buy Laundry Detergent Again – everything listed here is natural and does not contain any harmful chemicals that are damaging to your skin or the environment.
