I started with the Duggar Family laundry soap recipe and then tweaked it to work best for me. You can fine the original recipe here.
What I do differently-
* I add 1 full cup of borax because we have very hard water.
* I add 1 bottle of Downy Unstoppables to the whole batch. It makes it smell awesome!
We are on our 2nd 5 gallon bucket and we do not plan to buy laundry soap anytime soon. We love this stuff!
Here is a how-to video-

I make my own Duggar detergent also and was was wondering if/and how much Downy Unstopables you could add for the fragrance. I experimented adding it to some of the detergent but I just added a little and it didn't smell strong enough. I guess adding the whole bottle to the entire 5 gallons will fix that!!!!! I will try that next time! Thanks!
Borax is a precipitating water softener. So if you unknowingly use it after a water main break, it can cause all of the gunk to precipitate out of the water onto your clothes.
