Who Wants to Make Their Own Laundry Detergent?

I got this great Laundry Detergent Recipe online from "Happy Money Saver". It is not my recipe but I sure do use it! The website with the instructions and cute pictures of the process is http://happymoneysaver.com/making-your-own-laundry-detergent-worth-the-cost/

Ingredients:
1 Box of Super Washing Soda 3 lb. 7 oz.
1 Box of Borax 4 lbs 12 oz. size
1 Box of Pure Baking Soda 4 lb.
3 bars of Fels-Naptha 5.5 oz.
1 container of Oxy-Clean 1.3 lb
 Purex Crystals 28 oz. for scent

All you do is grate the Fels Naptha and then add all the other ingredients into a tub and mix it up and BAM! For 20 bucks you have 500+ loads of laundry. All it takes is a TABLESPOON per load! Isn't that neat? And the little Oxi Clean comes with a small blue Tbsp scooper in it! My husband has sensitive skin when it comes to the harsh chemical detergents we used to use. But so far this has been great! He used his manly muscles to grate the soap for me! What a guy! In return he's got super clean shirts now for work. He works as a deli manager so there is grease and stains everytime he comes home. But this gets his clothes super clean for not a lot of money. It only cost us 20 bucks for everything and that is with no coupons. We'll probably be set on detergent for a year with just the two of us. That's great since the usual liquid sensitive skin type we buy is $10 a bottle and only last about 4 months tops.
