How To Make Environmentally Safe Laundry Detergent at Home
4lbs 7oz Washing Soda (not baking soda)
2lbs Borax **Do not use scented borax, look for an unscented version or you can buy it online*
2 cups Epsom Salt
2 cups OxyClean (or an oxygen-based bleach alternative)
2 cups 20 Mule Team Borax (found in the detergent aisle of most grocery stores)
4 cups Baking Soda (beware baking soda is not called for, but it does help with odor-fighting and softening your clothes – I added some because my kids have a habit of spilling things)
