A few weeks ago, I went ahead and made my own laundry soap. After a few loads, I can say it has been working very well and makes for a softer fabric than just the commercial detergent.
Here's the recipe:
Grate up a bar of my homemade soap
For every 2 cups of grated homemade soap, add one cup of baking soda.
In the future, I may try adding Borax and/or washing powder to increase its ability to get out stains.
I've been using 2 tablespoons per load, which seems to work pretty well. I didn't realize that filling the scoop to the line for commercial detergent may be overdoing it.
The baking soda works as a fabric softener, so now my clothes are softer than before. And they don't have a chemical smell. Yay!
