Has anyone made Homemade Liquid Laundry Detergent - Not Gloop

Hi everyone

Over the laste month or two I have been experimenting with all sorts of "homemade" cleaning things I have read about on here.

One of which is washing powder.

Today I stumbled on this while surfing online.

• 1/3 Cup Washing Soda
• 1/4 Cup Borax
• 2 Tablespoons Dawn Dish Soap
• 1 Gallon of Water
• Sturdy Gallon Size Container

Fill your gallon size container about 1/4 full with VERY HOT water. Add the washing soda and the borax. Gently shake and swirl the contents around to help dissolve the washing soda and the borax. (You may want to put the top back on your container for this step).
Next add the 2 tablespoons of Dawn Dish Soap. Swirl it around to help mix it in.
Finally you will add the remainder of the water. It can just be cold or room temperature water from the tap.
If you add the rest of the water slowly, the mixture will not bubble up as much. However it will still bubble a little bit, and that’s OK. Add enough water until you have a gallon, and just let any excess bubbles overflow.





Swoosh away the bubbles, put the top back on your container and if you want, you can tip it and swirl it a little more for some additional mixing.
Use about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup per load. It will be a thin liquid, but it does the job.


I am assuming "Dawn" is the equivelant of Fairy over here.


Has anyone tried it

Also what do you reckon if you subbed the Fairy with Stardrops?
