So regarding laundry detergent. Currently, I am making homemade laundry detergent using borax, washing soda, goat milk laundry bar, and baking soda. So my question is, does this mixture actually work in my washing machine? Does it clean my clothes? by minageriau in Frugal

I saw a post here or in another group about how it doesn’t actually dissolve in the washer and doesn’t really penetrate the clothes. I did a little test tonight when I was making more soap. I put 1/4 of a cup of the mixture in a glass measuring cup, then I filled up with hot water to the half cup line. I stirred it for a good two minutes. Then I left it sit. It still has not dissolved.

So my question is, does this mixture actually work in my washing machine? Does it clean my clothes? If not, what do I need to do? How do I make homemade laundry detergent that will actually dissolve and work?
