This is mine, it cleans really well.I've been using it for a couple of years, all good.I found the soap-based recipes did make the clothes dull and scummed up the washing machine over time.

You need:
2 litre container (I use a childproof dishwashing powder container)
250ml or so cup (I use a disposable cup)
washing soda
Laundry powder (I use 2 packets of EcoStore powder a year - 2 people)

Put 2/3 c washing soda into container (I mix with water and pour in from a disposable cup)
Fill to within 5" or so of the top with warm water
Add 1 scoop of EcoStore washing powder mixed with water
Top up the container with water, shake a few times to mix (over the tub if you're unsure of the lid).
I use 1/2 c for a small load, 1c for a really grubby full load.

Really cheap, works better than any laundry powder or liquid I have tried, no perfume and minimal ecologically damaging chemicals into the waterways or ocean afterwards.

Hi there. I have used this recipe and have found that my husband's and daughter's eczema has calmed down. Many thanks.
