Lori 1 bar Castile soap or other washing soap. 2 cups borax 2 cups washing soda Essential oil lemon, tea tree or any other of your choice. A few drops to your liking Mix and done. Use a 1/4 cup or less per load. All so easy and works great. Hope this helps

Lori, I use the same recipe but the instructions I found said only use 1 tablespoon for a regular load and 2 tablespoons for an extra large or soiled load. So far that amount of detergent has been working great.
I just made my second batch of that recipe. It lasted about six months of washing at my house. Couldn't love it more!! I use Ivory soap - no allergy problems for one member of the family and I love the smell!
