Frugal Living: Homemade Laundry Powder

Last year I was lucky enough to win a years supply of Radiant Laundry liquid. And yes, I did just express joy in winning laundry liquid. I think is was a pretty great prize to win!

But last week we used up our final bottle of our winnings, one month short of the 'years supply' timeline.

So it was time to make some more homemade laundry powder.

Below is the recipe I used. And so far, so good. We did a lot of washing over the weekend and all clothes have come up great.

You will need:

3 cups Borax
2 cups Baking Soda
2 cups Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate, it is pH increaser in the photo. I pick it up from the pool shop for about $6 for a bag)
2 cups Sunlight soap (grated)

• Mix all ingredients well and store in a sealed tub or jar.
• Use 1/8 cup of powder per full load.
• Pop a label on it is you so desire.

I have a front loader and have been putting it in with the clothes as it doesn't seem to all dissolve when it is in the dispenser.

Oh, a few of you asked if I could convert the Best Coconut Butter Cake recipe for non-thermomix owners. I am planning on doing it soon and will update the post as soon as I do.
