+# Making detergent at home.
+
+Recipe and instructions are followed by some interesting things I found
+regarding cost and availability.
+
+# Recipe
+
+* 1 Part Borax
+* 1 Part Baking Soda ( Sodium *Bi-Carbonate* )
+* 1 Washing soda Semi-Optional ( Sodium *Carbonate* )
+    * **NOTE**: Can be made from baking soda if you can't find it in stores
+    * **NOTE**: While not required does greatly improve the quality of the detergent
+
+Optional additions
+* 1 Bar of Soap ( optional )
+    * No liquid soap will not work for this
+
+## Instructions
+
+Mix Borax, Baking Soda, and Washing Soda evenly in a container. If you are using 
+a bar of soap you can use a cheese grater to break it down so that you can mix
+this in with the rest.
+
+## Making Washing Soda ( Sodium *Carbonate* )
+
+Since this stuff can be hard to find you can also make it at home.
+
+Here's a video from __[NileRed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpGEc-pLXN4).__
+
+Quick transcription:
+
+1. Pour out baking soda ( sodium bi-carbonate ) into a pot
+2. As it heats up it will release CO2 and water
+    * This results in some bubbling
+3. Keep heating until bubbling stops and the powder appears like a dense powder.
+
+
+# FAQ & Stuff about cost
+
+> Is this actually cheaper than just buying a regular detergent?
+
+From my _very_ quick checks of prices around me I found Target had 16oz boxes of baking soda for 1$. A 4 lb box of Borax was 8$.
+
+For 3 pounds of detergent you would be looking at a 10$ investment of materials.
+
+* 1 lb baking soda ( 1$ )
+* 1 lb baking soda converted to washing soda ( 1$ )
+* 1 lb borax ( 2$ )
+
+In total **4$** for 3 pounds of unscented detergent isn't too bad.
+
+> Are there any alternatives to this sort of thing?
+
+Dish soap unironically works well enough for small loads you just have
+to play with the quantities.
+
+> What about unit prices for all of these things?
