I make this in doubles. I am providing a recipe that should last you 3-6 months (or longer) depending on how much laundry you do. We are a household of 6 most of the time but 7 when my grandson comes to for a few days.
You will need:
Container w/ Lid
1 TBSP (for measuring detergent into machine)
2 c Super Washing Soda (found in laundry section of store)
1 Fels-Naptha Bar Soap (found in laundry section of store)
1 Ivory Bar Soap
2 c Borax (found in laundry section of store)
2 c Baking Soda
Using a Food Processor, shred the Fels-Naptha & Ivory bars. (A blender should work as well, but I find the Food Processor works so much better.)
Once shredded, mix all ingredients into Container with lid. I shake this up until I know they are really mixed. BUT if you want, you can slowly mix these items in your Food Processor & blend together. (Since I double the recipe, I just find it easier to mix in Container.)
Use 1 TBSP per load. If it is a heavy soiled load, you might want to add a little more. So far, I have only had to use 1 TBSP per load. (I used Sharpie & wrote it on container “Use only 1 TBSP per load”)
Cost:
Fels-Naptha = $ 0.97
Ivory = $1.24 (3 pk)
Borax = $3.38
Super Washing Soda = $3.24
Baking Soda = (well, I forgot to keep that amount 
I have found this cheaper than even store brand detergents AND it cleans our clothes better. Since some of us have slight reaction to some pre-made laundry detergents (& it’s a different one for each
