Laundry Detergent

I found this laundry detergent recipe on Pinterest.  There were tons of great comments about it so I was excited to make it.  Click here to check it out. 

The lady that posted it said it lasted her family about 9 months and she has 3 kids and it costs about $20.  I still had a good amount of detergent when I made this so I told Dane we shouldn't need laundry detergent for 2 years.  I hope I am right because he was going to hold me to it.  So this post is to help me remember.

These are the ingredients I used:

1 4 lb 12 oz box Borax (2.15 kg or 76 oz) found in the detergent isle
1 4 lb box Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (1.81 kg) found in the cooking isle
1 box Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda 55 oz (3 lb 7 oz) found in the detergent isle
3 bars of Fels-naptha soap, found in the detergent isle
Container of oxyclean or store brand oxyclean (try to get about 3.5 lbs total (1.58 kg)) found in the detergent isle.
