    I'm making my own powder for the washing, using 2 cups soap flakes, 1 cup bicarb, 1 cup washing soda and 1 cup of borax. Mix it all together and use 2 tbs for clothes and 1tbs for MCN. So far it has worked really well and is soooo cheap! I haven't had to buy powder for 3 months and have used less than 1/4 of my base ingredients...

    The bonus is I know exactly what is going into the wash

    I use the Bosistos eucalyptus powder. It has no fillers in it and doesn't irritate mine or DD's skin

    I half-make my own powder. I buy FAB or Duo when it's on special and then mix 2 parts detergent powder with 1 part borax and 1 part bi carb. When washing nappies I use 1/4 of the scoop that came with the detergent. For normal clothes I use 1/2 a scoop.
