I watched a bunch of videos and recipe posts.. combined what I liked from those into this recipe
1 5oz Fels Naptha bar, grated
1 15oz Zote White bar, grated
4c Washing Soda
4c Borax
2c Baking Soda
2c Oxi Powder (Costco brand)
1c Epsom Salt
1c scented pellets (Costco brand)
I used a food processor to grate up the soap and blend everything into a fine powder. One load uses 2TBS of powder.
I calculate the cost to be $13.49 for 133 loads. You can definitely do it for less if you omit the scented pellets, the oxi powder, and the Epsom salt. A basic recipe is just the bar soap with washing soda and borax.
Anyone here have some experience with homemade laundry soap?

Aww I knew they would. I asked a bunch of times about restock and they told me it was coming back.
All the experiences I’ve seen are people breaking their machines eventually, because of their homemade concoctions.
A lot of people did this for awhile until they realized it was more work than any savings was worth and just didn’t work as well as the commercial stuff
