Clean Laundry!
I've been putting this step off long enough - making my own laundry powder. To be fair to myself, it wasn't so much procrastination, as an issue finding the washing soda at a local grocery store that kept me from jumping into this process. But last grocery trip - I found it! Right on the shelf next to the Borax. I am in!!
Homemade Laundry Powder
1. Grate bar soap into a bowl.
2. Add 2 cups Borax, 2 cups Arm & Hammer Washing Soda, and 1 cup oxygen cleaner. Mix well.
3. (Optional) One cup of mixture at a time, blend in a blender until you have a fine powder.
4. Pour mixture into an airtight container. Stir to mix thoroughly.
5. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of powder per load.
