Make your own laundry detergent.

Remember I live in the desert foothills here in the California mountains. We use a swamp cooler in the summer so clumping is not an issue for dry goods. If there are clumps I scoop them out and run them through the food processor.

I just purchased a 50# bag of each borax and washing soda - far less expensive than the boxes (can't remember sites - 2 different places.)

What is all the worry about stains, you are just wrecking good conversation starters,

Roo is a lazy tween and throws her towels on the floor until K or I yell at her about it. Since she does her own laundry if she wants to wash towels and her clothing at the end of the week I say let her. The motivation for her doing her own laundry is she whines about not having clean clothing she has herself to blame.

Cause and effect is a powerful teacher for all ages. Good for you for "letting" her learn at a young age.

I have been trying to find an oxy powder in bulk that is not Oxyclean (has fillers).

I wash one load a day. Husband will use everything once. Jeans, insulated, underwear, socks, one or two tee shirts. Just me, one load a week unless washing sheets.

Already use it and it is not an oxygen based product. I am looking for sodium per-carbonate, sodium carbonate, or peroxide.

Don't know if you want the bleach one, but Azure Standard 50# for $73.
Otherwise, where I found it bulk was in janitor supply companies.

I googled 'oxy-powder without fillers' and got a colon cleanser advertisement. I don't know how those are related!

Lol. I've seen Biokleen powder before, which is suppose to be all natural. Not sure if I've ever seen it in bulk though.

I have a bit of a "silly" question, how would one keep oxygen in a powder, it would simply meld with the rest of the atmosphere, or are we using "New" science in which if one repeats something often enough it becomes fact??

My DW use four items, but I forget what the fourth item is.
She use a five gallon bucket.
