In order to find a laundry detergent without surfactants and optical brighteners you have to pay out the nose. While I adore Second Generation, it's just too expensive to buy regularly when I do up to 20 loads of laundry a week some weeks. This mixture works just as well as Second Generation, only it doesn't have the pretty scent to it. This is safe for all skin types.
Ingredients:
2 bar of Kirks Castile Bar Soap
2 cup of washing soda (sodium carbonate)
1 cup borax- sold in laundry section
Grate the bars of soap with a microplane or a fine grater. Mix the remaining ingredients in and thoroughly shake until well blended. Note: Avoid breathing in the dust.
Store laundry detergent powder in an airtight container. Use 2-4 tablespoons per load.
**I have substituted other soaps when I can't find Kirk's. Ivory seems to work the best out of the typically available soaps.
