I can't find laundry detergent in powdered form.

5. I don't know. But I make my own laundry detergent for pennies and it's environmentally friendly

and it works as well as what's on the shelves. You could make a powdered version in a minute.

A while ago one of the containers I have been reusing for years broke and I thought I'd treat myself and get a bottle of store bought detergent to use up and then use the bottle as my container. The store bought was a real disappointment. Things didn't come clean, stains didn't go away, ghosts of odors still stuck around.

I make my detergent a liquid, but you could do a powdered version. I put a quarter cup of Cascade dishwasher soap, a quarter cup of washing powder (big box found in laundry aisle) and a quarter cup of Borax in the gallon bottle and fill it with water.

As you prefer powder, just mix the three ingredients and add the mixture to your pint containers. But you don't need much. As I said, those three quarter cups make a gallon of great laundry soap.
