The blogger that I've learned the most from is One Good Thing by Jillee. She's totally awesome. When I need a "homemade" recipe, I check Jillee's website. Here's the no-grate liquid laundry detergent that I've learned from her. It smells great. I like to use this recipe even for mopping the floors or washing dishes by hand. My husband recently commented that the house smells so nice since I started making my own detergent. This is what he is smelling around the house! This is my go-to universal recipe....... Thanks, Jillee!!
Recipe:
3 Tablespoons 20-Mule Team Borax {all-natural laundry booster and multi-purpose household cleaner}
3 Tablespoons Arm & Hammer Washing Soda {not baking soda}
2 Tablespoons Dawn Dish Detergent
Pour all ingredients in a one gallon jug. {I use an old orange juice jug}. Pour 4 cups boiling* water into the jug. Swish until ingredients are dissolved in the liquid. Let liquid cool. Then fill almost to the top with cold water. The bubbles will overflow out of the bottle. You can pick a scented Dawn Dish Detergent. Dawn works the best because it gets grease out. {Totally.}
*I cheat and save time by using my hottest tap water. I just fill nearly to the top with hot water, swish, and then let cool. You use a cup per laundry load. {Although you may use more or less depending on your preference and laundry type. Stinky teenage boys, one cup!}

I do in fact use the Arm and hammer Baking Soda. It is non toxic if swallowed and nearly (nearly) identical in the detergent. I have used this recipe going on three years now. I estimate my cost of ingredients to be just under $12 dollars a year. that is about a dollar a month for laundry of some 45 to 100 loads per month. It is marvelous for the clothes, less fading and no build up in my clothes.
