Homemade Laundry Detergent Tabs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 ounces bar castille soap
1/4 cup baking soda
1/2 cup washing soda
1/4 cup salt
1/4 - 1/2 cup white vinegar
5 -10 drops essential oils (6 drops of lavender and 2 drops of tangerine or your personal preference)

Preparation

Grate a bar of soap (can also shred in food processor).
Mix the grated soap, baking soda, washing soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Slowly add the vinegar a little at a time and mix until it starts to clump and is easy to manipulate.
Press into ice cube trays (really press hard).
Set the trays out to dry in a sunny place for at least 24 hours.
When you use the tabs, add them in with the load and not in the separate area for detergent if your machine has one. They won't dissolve properly without enough water.
