Powdered Laundry Soap
For a lot cheaper, same, clean results as my All and Tide Liquid detergents.
-Aubrey

3 bars of Ivory soap (about $1 at Winco for all 3)
1 1/2 cups Borax
1 1/2 cups of Washing Soda by Arm and Hammer (not baking soda)

1. Grate Ivory Soap.
I used my Kitchen Aid Grater and then used my fingers to farther break apart the pieces and that worked great.



2. Mix Soap, Borax, and Washing Soda together.




Use 1 Tbsp. of a light load and 2 Tbsp. for a heavy load.

You can use essential oils to give it a scent you want...I haven't tried it yet. I did notice that the grated soap floated in the water at first, but I checked back after a few minutes and it had dissolved.
