Yeah, yeah, I know these recipes have been circulating frequently and you can google and find a bazillion recipes that are basically the same. I've tried out the liquid detergent and it seems to work out really well. I've read mixed reviews on the safety of Borax and the environmental harms but I'm sure the impacts are far less than the ingredients in store bought detergent. The laundry comes out clean but without the fragrance (lingering chemicals) from regular detergent. It dissolves well in warm water washes and if it doesn't dissolve well in cold water you can shake 1 tablespoon in a jar with warm water and then put in wash. I've read that the dry detergent works great for HE Front loading machines because it prevents a lot of build up that can come from using liquids. I found all the ingredients in the laundry isle of the grocery store.
Recipe for Dry Detergent:
1 Cup of Washing Soda
1 Cup of Borax
1 Grated Bar of Felsnaptha Laundry soap or bath bar soap like Ivory or Lever 2000
Mix all ingredients and use 1 Tablespoon per load.
