Since powder detergent is easier to travel with than liquid, I decided it would be convenient to make one myself.

Of course, it still needed to work just as good as the liquid one does.

And it also needed to be cheaper than buying it at the store. I simply hate how expensive detergent is at the store!

That’s one reason why this recipe is so great!

You’ll love this DIY powder detergent because it’s super fast to make.

Plus, this homemade laundry detergent powder is super cheap so you won’t be wasting your money on costly detergents.

And, this best powder laundry detergent really works well on all your clothes to get them super clean.

Plus, I’ll bet you already have most (if not all) of the ingredients on hand to make this powder detergent today!

 Ingredients & Supplies:

• 2 Cups Baking Soda
• 2 Cups Washing Soda
• 2 Cups Borax
• 2 Cups Oxi Clean

To make the powder detergent, you will also need a clean 8 cup or larger container such as a large glass or plastic canister, a large food processor or large mixing bowl, mixing spoon and measuring cups.

You will also need a 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon to leave in the powder detergent canister.

If you are having trouble finding Washing Soda in your area, you can easily make Washing Soda from baking soda. All you need is baking soda, an oven, and a baking pan. Check out the instructions right here.

This DIY powder detergent will be so fast to make, you won’t believe it!

Directions:

This powder detergent is so easy and fast to make. Just follow these directions.

Grab your food processor and start measuring!

In a large food processor, start by measuring each of the ingredients of the homemade laundry detergent powder and add them to the processor.

Close or lock the lid and process the ingredients until thoroughly combined. This step should take less than a minute. Yup, it’s that fast!

I like to stick a plastic Tablespoon right inside the container so that it’s ready to use.

Make sure to label the container with how much to use in each load (2 TBS) to make it easy for everyone who might do laundry with your best powder laundry detergent.

This recipe is safe for HE washers also. Simply use 2 Tablespoons per load. Easy-peasy for this DIY powder detergent!

Note: If you don’t have a food processor, that’s okay! Just add the ingredients for the powder detergent in a large mixing bowl and mix well with a spoon. Make sure that all ingredients are incorporated well. (Side note: it will get dusty mixing it this way. So mix well, but mix gently.)

How Much Does It Cost Per Load?

Here’s where you can really see how easy and cheap it is to make this awesome powder detergent.

Here’s the cost of each ingredient:

• 2 Cups Baking Soda = 64¢
• 2 Cups Washing Soda = $1.20
• 2 Cups Borax = $1.10
• 2 Cups Oxi Clean = $2.66

Total cost to make 8 Cups = $5.60

Which equals 64 loads. (Bonus: this recipe is safe for HE washers)

Using 2 Tbs per load = 9¢ Per Load

As you can easily see, the cost for making this powder detergent is crazy cheap and the best part is that it actually works!

This usually takes me less than 7 minutes to make which is super fast and easy compared to a trip to the store.

And the result, this powder detergent really works well on my boy’s stinky sports clothes, which means all is right with the world.

Finding a cheap powder detergent recipe was really important to me so that we could save money and make laundry detergent whenever we start to run low.

Powder detergent is also much easier to bring along when we travel than the liquid variety (and all pods are uber expensive).

This powder detergent is easy to make, works well on stinky clothes and cheaper than buying one at the store.

I hope you love this DIY powder detergent too because it’s super fast to make.
