Homemade Laundry Detergent

Have been using this recipe for just about 2 months now.  Even with a family of 6, it seems to be lasting a very long time!!

3kg box of arm and hammer super washing soda, 
1- 2kg box borax, 
1- 3lb container oxiclean powder, 
1 cup baking soda, 
2- sunlight laundry bars, grated and 
2- bottles purex crystals
Grate the soap and then mix everything together in a big bucket.
2-4 tablespoons per load.


For a more natural (and more yummy) scent, next time I plan to skip the crystals and try scenting with essential oils instead.  Perhaps with one of my most favourite synergy scents- “muscle mend” by true essence – birch, eucalyptus, marjoram, black pepper and nutmeg OR something simple like ylang ylang, lavender or lime!  The possibilities are endless, really!
