Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 bar grated Ivory soap
• 1/2 Cup Borax
• 1/2 Cup Washing soda (found in the laundry isle)

1. Grate 1 bar of Ivory soap (I use a cheese grater)
2. Add 1/2 Cup of Borax
3. Add 1/2 Cup Washing soda
4. Mix and store in air tight container.
   
   Use 1-2 Tablespoons per load depending on size of load.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a bit more of mixture for hard water
• Use a bit of extra Ivory for "fresher" scent
• double or triple batch and store in air tight container
• Remember: Washing soda is NOT the same as baking soda (although the washing soda I use is by Arm and Hammer). It will say Washing Soda on the box.
• Borax is more natural than other harsh chemicals and is said to only be as harmful to pets and humans as table salt but to be safe, always read labels and follow instructions closely.
• keep washing soda out of reach of children
• do not mix with bleach
