No perfumed scent or UV brighteners and cheap as!
Half a bar of unscented soap grated (I used ‘Simple’ brand)
1.5 litres of water
1/2 cup washing soda
1/4 cup borax
1 litre hot water
Place soap in a large saucepan with the first quantity of water and heat on low until soap is dissolved. Stir in washing soda and borax. Stir for a few minutes until thickened and remove from heat.
Add 1 litre hot water to a bucket. Add soap mixture and mix well.
Fill bucket with another 5 litres of hot water and mix well. . Pour into old 2L plastic milk bottles and set aside for 24 hours or until mixture thickens (mine thickened overnight).
Use half a cup of mixture per load of washing—the blue scoops that come with regular washing powder are great if you have any laying around as they are a 1/4 cup...so just add two. Be sure to shake the bottles before use as the mixture does tend to go a little gluggy after a while.
Makes around 8 litres, which will give you around 60 washes all for under 5 dollars!
You can grab the washing soda and borax at your local Bin Inn store.
