Homemade Laundry Detergent - it's AWESOME!

One bar soap
1/2 cup borax
1/2 cup washing soda

Soap:  Can use Fels-Naptha, Ivory or any bar soap that does not have added perfumes and dyes. 
Washing Soda:  This is NOT the same as baking soda.  I've found this in the laundry aisle next to the borax.  But if you're having trouble, go to the Arm and Hammer web site and call their customer service number.  They can tell you which stores in your area carry washing soda. 

Shave the one bar of soap using a small grinder.  You don't want big chunks.
Mix in borax and washing soda.
Use about 2 Tbsp per load of wash.
