Ingredients:
- 1 cups - soap flakes
- 1/2 cups - washing soda found in laundry aisle
- 1/2 cups - Borax

This standard recipe can be adjusted for soft water by using 1 cup soap flakes, 1/4 cup washing soda and 1/2 cup borax. For hard water, use 1 cup soap flakes, 1 cup washing soda, and 1 cup borax.
Essential oils enhance the cleanliness of laundry. They kill tiny dust mites which live in bedding and feed off dead skin cells that we constantly shed.
