I get all the items I need right in the laundry isle at my local grocery store. Once you buy the items, a batch of laundry detergent is about $1.50 or so to make. I found this recipe and also found that you can use different soaps to make your liquid with and I have tried others but do prefer the Fels Naptha. Please note, too, that this can be made into just a powder by following the steps and not "cooking" the soap and water. You would then have a powder and take up less space than a 5 gallon bucket would.
If you make the powder make sure you get your soap ground up to almost to a powder.
Use about a Tablespoon per load if you're using powder.
For the liquid, use about 1/2 C per medium to large load and about 1/4 C for a small load. Do also note that this WILL NOT give you suds so if you're a suds person this just might not do it for you! LOL
