Measuring Homemade Laundry Soap

A friend gave me a recipe for homemade laundry soap. It is made with 6 cups of borax, 4 cups of baking soda, 4 cups of washing soda, and 4 cups of graded bar soap.

My problem is it doesn't tell how much to use in each load of laundry? Does anyone know this recipe and how much to use? I would be very thankful for the answer!

I also use homeade laundry detergent but I always use the liquid version. However, I have read in a few places that those who use powdered only use 1-2 Tbs. per load and they say their clothes come out clean.

Experiment a bit and see what works for you. Hope this helps!

I have the ingredients all ready to mix for my detergent. My question is what is the proper amount to use per average load. Thanks to all.
