Homemade Laundry Soap

I've been experimenting with making my own laundry soap. It's works really well and I am a convert now. There are many variations on recipes out there but they are all basically they same. I tweaked a couple of different recipes until I found what works for me.

The recipe I've been using:
2 cups Borax
2 cups Washing Soda
1 cup Baking Soda
1 bar Fels Naptha soap grated
Use 1/8 - 1/4 cup per load.

Washing soda and Fels Naptha can be a tiny bit trickier to find, but it can be done. If nothing else, eBay and Amazon have tons of them. I think the Fels Naptha smells great, but it isn't overpowering when the laundry is done. I need to get another Downy ball so that I can start using vinegar with essential oil in the rinse cycle as a fabric softener and then I'm going to make felted wool balls to put in the dryer to take care of any static cling.

I've found some recipes for dishwasher detergent that are just as easy to make. I'll be trying those next...
