I never thought about making my own detergent until I started making a concerted effort to go green. Once I started cloth diapering I realized there was a lot I didn't know about detergent! This is a great little recipe (I especially like it with Lavender Oil added) and will clean anything from your cloth diapers to your towels and clothing.
If you desire a fragrance, add two drops of your choice of essential oil to the water before adding clothing
2 cups of Borax
2 cups of Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (not baking soda!)
2 cups of Oxygen cleaning powder, such as Oxyclean
Mix well. Use 1 Tablespoon (15ml) for small loads & 2 Tablespoons (30ml) for large loads.
Store in recycled, air tight container
