Homemade Laundry Powder

Save money with this homemade laundry powder that uses easy ingredients for cleaning and freshening your loads of laundry. I use this mixture in my HE washing machine with good results too!
Active Time5 minutes
Yield: 64 loads
Author: Beverly

Materials:

  • 3 cups Washing Soda
  • 3 cups Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Epsom Salt
  • 1 cup Oxi-Clean
  • 20 drops Essential Oil (optional for fragrance)

Instructions:

  • Mix all the ingredients together and store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
  • Use 2 Tablespoons per load of laundry.
    (Note: when using in my HE washer I sprinkle the powder directly on the clothing rather than using the dispenser, and I also use my Deep Fill setting)

Notes:

Peppermint or Lavender are my two favorite essential oils to use in this mixture if I decide to add some fragrance.
If you want to save more money, you can try leaving out the Oxi-Clean too, however it is a very helpful ingredient that gives a cleaning boost.
