Home made washing powder

Postby littlesez » Tue Jul 09, 2013 9:41 am

Going to try the dishwasher powder but i also thought why not washing powder too :D Will let everyone know how it goes.

1 bar of grated soap
1 cup borax substitute
1 cup washing soda

Mixed it up, that's it !

1 used 2 table spoons all washing fresh and clean :)

I'm about to run out so this would be the perfect time to make my own! I never know how much to use tbh and find a box of powder lasts me forever!!

Sara, Is the grated soap just normal soap or something different, where did you get the borax from?
