Tips:
- Be sure to label your detergent container, so others will know what's inside. Include a list of the ingredients as an added safety measure.
- Borax sells under the name 20 Mule Team, and can be found on the laundry aisle. You should be able to find Washing Soda and Fels-Naptha soap there too.
- Having trouble locating Fels-Naptha soap on the laundry aisle? Check to see if it's in with the bar soap.
- If the grocery store or discount store that you shop at doesn't stock these ingredients, try an international grocery store.
- Zote, Ivory or castile soap can be used in place of Fels-Naptha.
