Oh the interesting things you can find online! I learned that if you take Baking Soda and heat it in the oven until the fluffy texture is gone and it turns more grainy, that you have Washing Soda. I had one cup left of baking soda so I pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees , poured the cup of baking soda on a cookie sheet, and "baked" it for 30 minutes. Sure enough, the fluffiness was gone, and I had that grainy texture! So I may just have a new recipe for the detergent:
What I used:
1 Cup of Borax
1 Cup of "homemade" Washing Soda
1 Bar of Oil of Olay Soap (grated)
and then I realized I still had 2 sample packs of Downy Unstopables so I added those to
Combined all the ingredients in a bowl, poured it into an old (clean of course) pickle jar I had and VOILA! It smells wonderful and my clothes came out just as clean as always!
(I add 2 TBSP of detergent per load)
Now when I can figure out how to get the clothes to wash and fold themselves, I'll be doing good! :/
