Homemade Laundry Detergent

1 bar ZOTE soap
4 c. Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
4 c. Borax

Cut ZOTE into large chunks. Then using the grating blade of the food processor, grate soap. Remove grated soap pieces from processor bowl. Change out grating blade to the chopping blade. Return soap shreds to the processor and pulse until bits are finely chopped. Add in washing soap and borax, 2 cups at a time and process to mix well. Remove from processor bowl and store soap in an airtight container.

To use: For lightly soiled laundry, use 1 Tblsp. of detergent per wash load. For heavily soiled laundry, use 2 Tblsp. of detergent per wash load. If you have an old coffee scoop this works great.
