How to make laundry detergent

I have been making most of my household cleaners, laundry detergent, liquid soap, and body wash. Many of my friends and family have been asking how, so here it is!
Let's start with the laundry detergent! I have seen so many recipes online for this I can even remember where I got it from. We have an HE washing machine and I always used liquid soap, but I love this even if it is powder. Just remember that this is not a real bubbly soap, but it gets your kids clothes clean. I have been using this since the middle of January 2012 and I still have over half of what I made, and we have a lot of laundry. You can find all of these things at Wal-Mart.
1 box of Borax (laundry detergent isle at your local grocery store)
1 box of Washing Soda (laundry detergent isle at your local grocery store)
2 bars of  Fels-naptha or Ivory Soap (this is laundry stain bars that is found in the laundry detergent isle)
1 large box of Baking Soda
Use a cheese grater or food process or to grate or finely chop the Fels-naptha or Ivory
then in a bucket mix everything together.
It only takes 2 tablespoons per load!
