Notes
To Use: Use 1 to 2 tablespoons per load of laundry. Use 1 tablespoon for regularly soiled laundry and 2 tablespoons for heavily soiled laundry.
Yields: 5 Cups of powdered laundry detergent OR 80 tablespoons of laundry detergent. So if you are only using 1 tablespoon per load this makes enough for 80 loads of laundry!
