Homemade Laundry Soap

I've been making laundry soap for two years now. I began making it because I was using cloth diapers on my youngest daughter.  I was using All Free & Clear liquid detergent prior to making my own. The problem I was having was that after I washed the cloth diapers they still smelled TERRIBLE! After doing some research and spending oodles of money on an all natural powdered detergent (which worked, the diapers no longer smelled) I decided to try making my own.  I have been making goat's milk soap for five years and so it only seemed logical to make laundry detergent with it. At first I was skeptical about using powdered detergent but I didn't want to go through all the effort of making liquid detergent, finding a large container and dealing with gel after all, the powdered detergent I had tried worked perfectly. So I scoured the Internet for recipes. The one I use has my homemade goat's milk soap, baking soda, borax, washing soda and oxyclean.  I no longer have to use fabric softener and my clothes are just as clean as they were when I was using store bought detergent.

I packaged some up this weekend to put down in the farm stand.  I did not include the oxyclean in this batch so it is all natural. Using one Tbsp per load each of these jars is enough to do 40 loads of laundry.
