We have a laundry gloop thread that should answer your question, so I'll merge your thread into it. You'll need to read from the beginning to see all the replies.
Also have a look at this older thread: Laundry Cleaner

Washing Soda?? is this soda crystals
cup sizes - is it a mug?
essential oils are these what you buy from Holland and Barrett (very small bottles) or do they sell them in supermarkets etc
Do you use gloop / dry powder and then add neat white vinegar into the drawer for final rinse
I go through loads of powder etc in washes, how much do you use for an idea I live in a soft water area
Sorry for all the questions just read about it and it seems a great idea, just don't know if gloop or HM powder is best
Any help please. Tracey
Use gloop for the main wash and you may not even need any fabric conditioner. You may need the vinegar for whites.
It's EXCELLENT for wool! Came out really soft.
I use about the equivalent of a handful, so not much, and the cup measure is a standard cup measure which is 8oz.
If you have any little nets from laundry tablets they are useful for putting gloop in - it sets like a jelly, as sometimes the gloop can wriggle out of your washing and spends a merry hour going round and round in the door :rolleyes:
I have never made HM powder.
I have done reading too!
To avoid all evil, to do good,
to purify the mind- that is the
teaching of the Buddhas.

1 mug of grated soap (any old kind, i use cheepy stuff)
1 mug of washing soda (tesco 50p ish, look down low on the shelves as they dont want you to find it!;) )
and 1 mug of borax (£1.19 from boots)
it takes a few mins to grate the soap up and measure 3 mugs of ingredients and then throw it all in the tub. i use 1 tablespoon for normal wash or 2 for a dirty wash, it works great and its soooo cheap and it lasts for ages. :j
