How to Use Sodium Silicate As a Detergent
- 1). Measure 8 cups of baking soda, 8 cups of sodium silicate, and 12 cups of borax. Pour all into container.
- 2). Grate 8 cups of bar soap with a cheese grater. Add this to the container.
- 3). Shake the container well, mixing all ingredients thoroughly. In the container you have sufficient surfactant cleaners with the borax, soap and baking soda. The sodium silicate will prevent hard water buildup and reduces the amount of detergent you need to clean clothes.
- 4). Store in the airtight container.
- 5). Use 1/8 cup of powder with every full laundry load.
