Powder Laundry Detergent

 A few days ago I had sorted my laundry and had everything ready for a load ready to wash. I started the water and began adding the clothes. When I grabbed my detergent jug, it was empty! Nooo! I didn't have time to make my good ole' liquid laundry detergent so, I had to manage. I pulled out my box of washing soda, borax and a couple bars of Ivory soap and started grating..

 I've always been skeptical when it comes to powder laundry detergent. Will it clean my clothes? Does it all dissolve without leaving residue on my laundry?
 All Skepticism aside, I mixed 2 grated bars Ivory soap, 2 cups Borax, 2 cups Washing soda and 2 cups Purex Tropical Splash Crystals in a bowl and poured the mixture into a jar. That's it! I used 2 Tablespoons for a large load and the clothes were clean and smelled  fantastic! This will last me a while (:
