I was almost out of soap today and thought I would just make my own since I had everything on hand.
This is what I used:
1 bar of laundry soap (Zote or Fels Naptha)
1/2 box of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1/2 box of borax
1 container of store brand OxiClean
Process the bar of soap in a food processor to grate it up. I used the shred blade and then switched to the regular blade to mix in the powder. The soap will still be a little chunky but processing it with the borax helps brake it down further.
The borax is usually a little clumpy so this is the one I added to the food processor with the grated soap. I chose only this one because it will not all fit in my processor. After the soap and borax is smooth, add them to a large container. Mix in the remaining ingredients. I put the lid on my container and shook it up to mix it.
That is it!! Use 2-4 Tbsp per load. I measured and found that the scoop that came with the OxiClean was 2 Tbsp so I will use that. I put a note on my container that says: 1 scoop for small loads and 2 scoops for large loads.
