I found this to be just as good (and a bit easier to make, because there isn't any grating involved!) as the typical bar soap + washing soda + borax recipes you'll find online. I also really like adding baking soda. I think it helps get the clothes cleaner. Some people have skin sensitivity to borax, and when my girls were tiny we just omitted it from the recipes all together and everything came out clean in the wash :)
In a large bowl combine 1 1/2 cups Borax, 1 1/2 cups Washing Soda, and 1 cup baking soda.
Using a stand mixer (whisk attachment), food processor or hand mixer, slowly add 1 cup liquid castile soap. I prefer to use the unscented variety, and add my own smell using essential oils.
