[quote=Anonymous]Are you trying to make laundry detergent or dishwashing detergent? I've been making both for years. Fine for HE washing machines. For laundry detergent I use - 1 bar Oil of Olay (grated. I use a metal grater) 1 cup borax 1 cup washing soda 1/2 cup oxi-clean Mix and store in an airtight container. You only need about 2 tablespoons per load. (I think I got this recipe from the Prudent Homemaker blog, but I'm not positive.) For dishwasher detergent I use - 1 Cup Washing Soda (I like Arm & Hammer) 1 Cup Baking Soda 3 packages unsweetened lemonade drink mix (Make sure you use the unsweetened!) 1 Cup of Salt Mix and store in a VERY airtight container. It tends to clump together. Use about a tablespoon in the main cup. I always add vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher as well. I have no idea where I found this recipe. [/quote]
