Homemade Liquid Laundry Detergent

Well, I've heard from some of you that my Powdered Laundry Detergent doesn't dissolve completely in front-loading machines and leaves spots on the fabric.  Here's another recipe that I've tried.  It works just as well as the other one, but its base is Blue Dawn Dish Liquid, so it should dissolve well in any machine!

Here's what you need:

Empty Gallon Plastic Jug

Blue Dawn Dish Liquid

Super Washing Soda (Arm & Hammer)

Borax

Measure 3/4 cup Washing Soda and 3/4 cup Borax into the jug.  

Pour 2-3 cups of very hot water and shake until the powder is dissolved and looks milky like this:

Fill up the jug with tap water up to 5 inches from the top.  Then pour in 1 cup Blue Dawn Liquid.

If you put the lid on the container and roll it around a little the soap will mix in.  The Blue Dawn will settle on the top as it sits.  Just give it a shake before you use it for laundry.

Here's the good part:  You only need 1/4-1/2 cup per load!!  That's right, this nifty mixture will clean a LOT of clothes.  Try it and let me know how it works for you.  I still really like my powdered mixture, but I use this too.  I use this for my cleaning rags, sheets, and towels.
