First, it is really cheap to make (about $10 for all ingredients and we have been using that first batch made in March until today when I had to make another!)

Second, It makes our clothes really soft and they smell clean, not clean as in perfumed like some detergents but fresh and odorless.

Third, It is super easy to make.

The recipe is below if you would like to try it for yourself. You don’t have to use the brands in the photo but it is what we had available at our local Meijer.

12 cups Borax
8 cups Baking Soda
8 cups Washing Soda
8 cups Bar soap (grated)

* Mix all ingredients well and store in a sealed tub.
* Use 1/8 cup of powder per full load.
