Homemade Laundry Soap (Powder)

Apr 15, 2026

This is super simple and gets clothes really clean.
But first, a quick heads up…
Wear a mask when making it.
The powdery ingredients can get in your nose.



Ingredients

1 part each:
  • Fels Naptha (finely ground)
  • Borax
  • Super Washing Soda
  • Oxyclean powder
Or…
Swap the Oxyclean for:
1–1/2 tsp Sodium Percarbonate added at washing time.



How to Make It

Grate the soap.
Wear a mask for this part!
Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
Blend to a finer consistency (optional).



How to Use

Use 2 tablespoons per load.



Our family has sensitive skin and dirt clothes, so we needed something that really cleans well and also is gentle on skin. This does the trick, especially if you allow the load of wash to soak for an hour or so.
