our participants
- (1) 4 lb 12 oz Box of Borax
- (1) 3 lb 7 oz Box of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (totally different from baking soda and make sure the box says "washing soda")
- (1) 3 lb Container of OxyClean
- (1) 17.1 oz box of Zote Soap (if you can't find the box of soap already grated, you can use 2 bars of soap and grate them with a cheese grater. someone even used Ivory Soap)
- (1) 4 lb box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
- (2) 55 oz Downy or Purex Fabric Softner Crystals
- (1) Large bucket with a lid
- large spoon for stirring
I found all the above at Walmart. The cute bucket has lime green handles. :)
The easiest thing to do is add a little of each ingredient and mix well. I did half and mixed it up and then added the other half. I suggest doing it outdoors because of the dustiness but if you don't mind that, you're good. Walmart was out of the Downy Crystals but I think I'll go to my HEB and pick up a container and add it to my mixture. Store air tight and on a flat surface. I wouldn't put it on the dryer or the washer because it will all settle and you'd have to stir it up again. It took a good 10 minutes of stirring but totally worth it.
finished product: (forgive the horrible photos but my laundry room has yuck for lighting.) I used the little scoop from the OxyClean.
See my green handles and look how much we have!! One scoop per load. Also uses less water to rinse your clothes.
Facts:
1. Yes, you can use this in HE washing machines
2. Yes, you can add additional fabric softner to your wash
3. Yes, ONE scoop is all you need. It's about 2 heaping tablespoons
4. Yes, it smells great!
