So many people interested in learning how to make their own, so I decided to re-post this recipe.
4 Cups - hot tap water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup - Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda*
½ Cup Borax
This recipe is from my friend Britney. Her son was allergic to store brand detergents so she decided to make her own! No more itchies!! This is soooo much better for our environment.
Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.-Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.

I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! My home made laundry detergent!!!!! You have to try making this. It makes 5 gallons. I have a HE washer and the detergent dissolves immediately, so don't worry about it harming your washing machine. It actually dissolves quicker than store bought detergents! Go ahead and try it and let me know what you think.
