Question Homemade Washing Liquid/Powder

What is a good homemade washing liquid/powder to wash my MCN in?

I am currently using Earth Choice but would like to start making my own. So does anyone have a recpie which is safe to used on my MNC and the rest of my washing.

Thanks heaps

Blulow has links to both liquid and powder (ignore the brand name ingredients) - I use the recipe for the liquid one - with Sunlight soap, letric soda (Coles or Woolworths in the laundry isle) and borax (more difficult to find but Bunnings usually has it)...

This is the recipe I've put on the Brindabella Baby website - sounds same as the Blulow blog one, which a lot of people have used for nappies for many years without drama.

2 parts soap flakes, 1 part borax, 1 part washing soda.
Just mix together. Use 2 tbsp per wash.

You can buy borax at Woolworths. At least you can here!
