I came across this article earlier this year and decided to give it a try. It is not quite perpetual motion or a car that runs on water, but it is close. I was appalled by the high cost of laundry detergent as figured there must be a better, cheaper option. The basic recipe should be fairly simple...and it is. The right mix of surfactants and pH is the key.
The folks at "The Simple Dollar" blog has step by step directions: Step by Step Visual Guide to making your own Laundry Detergent
This recipe will work in traditional washers as well as High Efficiency (HE) machines. It is amazing how well Borax, Arm and Hammer, soap, and little time can produce a very good homemade laundry detergent.
