Powdered Laundry Detergent
1 part borax
1 part baking soda
1 part washing soda (sodium carbonate)
1 part bar soap (finely grated)
Mix all ingredients well and store in a sealed container.
Use 2 tablespoon powder per full load.
Hint – if you are unable to find a box of washing soda, look in swimming pool supplies for PH Up, which is also sodium carbonate.
Adding 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle will:
- help remove stains
- make your brights brighter
- help dark clothes stay dark
- decrease lint
- help remove soap residue from clothing and the washing machine
- soften clothes
