     • 4 pounds of Borax
     • 3 pounds of Arm & Hammer super washing soda
     • 3.5 pounds of Arm & Hammer pure baking soda
     • The finely chopped soap and fragrance boosters mixture
4. Mix Thoroughly:
   • Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
5. Store the Detergent:
   • Transfer your homemade laundry detergent to a suitable storage container or jar. A clear glass container works well.
6. Usage Instructions:
   • If you have a high-efficiency (HE) washing machine, use 1 tablespoon of detergent per load.
   • For top-loading machines, you can use up to two heaping tablespoons.
   • If you prefer to add scent, you can do so by adding a few drops of essential oil or using scented Method fragrance boosters in each load.
