How many of you make your own? The recipe i follow doesnt seem to make mine very liquidy so if you have a good recipe or advice it would be greatly appreciated! 

I use fels naptha soap, borax, and washing soda, and of course water.

    I use the detergent from the EFF blog.

    It's a powder and works really well.  We made up a big batch in a 5 gallon bucket and it'll last a bazillion years.  (Plus I always give samples away to friends and family to try.)

    I use the recipe on the Duggar website for liquid.  For powdered I use

    1 cup borax

    1 cup washing soda

    1 grated bar fels naptha

    blend up in food processer and use 1 T per load... I have a HE frontloader and it works great

    IMO powder is less messy to use and store, the homemade liquid was always gloppy and made a huge batch/mess.

    I've also used Kirks and Octagon bars of soap.  I think the Fels Naptha gets things cleaner though.
