getting crunchier by the day
I'd been wanting to do this for quite some time now, but just hadn't had the motivation to up and do it. Then I noticed that the detergent we'd been using was getting low and only had 5 or 6 loads worth left. Nothing will light a fire under my ass like necessity! And my gosh, this turned out to be so incredibly easy...
1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 cup Borax
2 cups grated bar soap
(I used about half Fels Naptha and half Dial White)
So stinking easy... mix it all together, add some essential oils, stick it in a container and WASH!

Wow, that's really awesome. Go you for making the world a greener place (and for doing something from your perfect world list) :)
hmmmm...what an awesome feat! have you used it yet? how'd it work? i am so anxious to hear...i have been dying to do this for ages...
I've used it on about 10-12 loads so far and am quite happy with the results. I tend to wash on warm (I know, I know, not so good for mama earth, but I live with dirty stinky boys) and it's gotten things clean, fresh smelling, and doesn't leave behind any clumps or anything like some people told me it might. I've already made a second batch and I think I'm gonna be using some variation of this recipe for a long, long time.
wow! i'm going to do this too! coincidentally, i only have about 5 loads worth of soap left. is Fels Naptha buy-able at regular grocery stores? (i never heard of it, but that could be just me.)
and yours even looks pretty! double yay-ness!
