This was from another post hope it helps....
I also use this for my everyday laundry...love it...no need for fabric softner...there is no static cling.
You use only 2 tsp per quilt...and 2 tbsp for a load of laundry. And yes, I have been using it in my front load washer for years with no problems.
Mix in an old ice cream bucket or canister
1 cup Borax
2 cups washing soda (oh so clean)
1 cup dry bleach for unbleachables (doesn't hurt the quilt because you only use 2 tsp of this recipe for washing)
1 bar of grated laundry bar soap (I use sunlight most times)
Enjoy!
