STORING THE LAUNDRY DETERGENT POWDER
- Keep your homemade laundry detergent powder in a fairly cool and dry place. Keeping it stored in your laundry room on a shelf or on top of your dryer is perfectly acceptable. You just want to be sure that it's not getting wet or humid inside of the jar as this will cause the powder to clump a bit.

For a small-sized load - use 2 Tablespoons - 1/4 cup of the laundry detergent powder
For a medium-sized load - use 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the laundry detergent powder
For a large-sized or heavily soiled load (cloth diapers, sweaty clothes, washable rugs) - use 1/3 - 1/2 cup of laundry detergent powder
