There are lots of recipes like this out... but I just add a bit more of the active ingredients in this four ingredient recipe, and it works marvelously! Please use your detergent jug only for this, and mark it clearly so others won't think it's something like Kool-Aide or such.

How To Make liquid laundry detergent

  • Step 1
    Put borax and washing soda in the bottom of a gallon jug.
  • Step 2
    Pour in the hot water, and swish powers around until melted and the water looks 'brackish'.
  • Step 3
    Pour in Dawn Liquid and swish well.
  • Step 4
    Fill in jug with cold water and swish again to mix well.
