If I didn't already know what it was, I would have no fucking idea what I was buying.

Look at the different bottle's labeling next time you go buy some. It doesn't even fucking say "detergent." If it does, it's in the tiniest fucking font they can find.

1:1:1 ratio. Washing soda, borax (20mule team), grated soap (ivory, zote, etc)

Mix very well. I use 5gal bucket w cement mixer and mask because it does make a small cloud.

This amount lasts us ~2 years. 8 to 12 loads laundry per week.

Use 1tbsp or more depending water hardness and how dirty clothes are.

Laundry detergent.

No. That is laundry soap. Laundry detergent is a detergent. Soaps and detergents are not the same thing.

True. Detergents are synthetic.

I posted how to make an alternative to laundry detergent.

Yes. We make a liquid from zote, borax, and washing powder. We use it in a HE washer. Twice a month I run a cycle using dawn detergent to breakdown residue left by the “soap”.

Great idea, thanks for the response.
