Posted a comment on Bronner's site
Lisa Bronner, Dr. Bronner's granddaughter, has a wonderful and insightful website and I highly recommend it.
I subscribe to Dr. Bronner's emails and it always has useful information and special promotions. But that's not what I want to talk about.
I posted a comment of her site in regards to the laundry detergent recipe I use.

Laundry Detergent. I make my own. the recipe is:
1 bar of Dr. Bronner's tea tree soap
1 cup Borax
1 cup washing soda
I finely grate the bar of soap ( don't recommend using any other soap than castile soap), then add Borax and washing soda. I mix it well then store in an airtight container. When using, I put 2-4 tablespoons of the detergent in the washing machine, then start adding water and then the clothes.
Tip: I used to keep the open containers of Borax and washing soda in the laundry room. But I got tired of having to take a hammer to break them up when I needed to use them. I've had Borax boxes turn into bricks because of the humidity in the house. Now as soon as I open one of the boxes, I pour the it into half gallon mason jars and seal them. You can use any air tight container and it truly helps.
We've tried using the Dr. Bronner's lavender bar soap in this recipe, but we both just really prefer the tea tree. It makes the clothes smell clean and deodorized.
