Heavy Duty Powdered Laundry Detergent

LOVE this so far...

This is a sample jar we're giving to a friend.

What you need:
1 (4 lb 12 oz) Box of Borax
1 (3 lb 7 oz) Box of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1 (3 lb) Container of OxyClean
2 Bars of Fels Naptha
1 (4 lb) Box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
1-2 (55 oz) Bottle of Purex Crystals Fabric Softener

How to make it:
Grate the soap into a large mixing bowl. I took a layering approach to mixing everything together. Pour about a third of each ingredient into your container, (we are using a 7.5 gallon trash can with flip lid, a 5 gallon would work even better but we couldn't find one when I wanted to start making this) stir well with a large mixing spoon, pour another third of everything on top of that, mixing those ingredients together and then into the rest, repeat with the last of all ingredients. This was much easier than dumping all the ingredients in at once and then trying to mix it well.

Use 2 T for HE washers, (we're using a coffee scoop)
Use 1/4 C for top loaders
