HOW TO MAKE BAKING POWDER FOR LAUNDRY SOAP PLUS
YES, this is VERY heavy (nearly 18 pounds plus the weight of your container). Ok, I don’t want to get into a bunch of crunching numbers with you, but let’s just say this: throwing all of these items together you will have about 287.5 ounces of powdered detergent.
Use 2-4 tablespoons per load for regular machine, and 1-2 tablespoons for an HE machine. Put in an air-tight container to prevent clumping.
