I don't have many food recipes so I'll start with household stuff.
Powdered Laundry Detergent
6 cups Borax
4 cups Baking Soda
4 cups Washing Soda
4 cups Bar soap (grated)
Mix all ingredients well and store in a sealed tub. Use 1/8 cup of powder per full load.
For the soap I use Fels Naptha which is like 97 cents at Walmart. Or I'll splurge and add a bar of Lavender Dr. Bronners but that's like $5 a bar!!

DEODORANT
Ingredients:
Coconut oil
baking soda
arrowroot powder or cornstarch
( I used cornstarch)
Combine equal portions of baking soda & arrowroot powder. I use about 1/4 cup each. Then slowly add coconut oil and work it in with a spoon until it maintains the substance you desire (I use approx 5-6 Tbls). It should be about the same texture as the store bought kind. You can either scoop this into your old dispensers or place in a small container with lid and apply with fingers with each use.
You may add EO's to it if you want it scented.

I'm new to the homemade products so what's EO?
I just bought a couple of the ingredients yesterday to make my own laundry soap. I still have to get the A & H washing soda. The recipe I have is a little different from yours, SalmonBerry. This'll be my first time making it.

EO stands for essential oils
There are so many recipes out there for laundry soap!

Good luck! With mine you have to make sure and let the water run with the soap first or the grated soap will clump up in like towels and stuff :/
