Is this for laundry, or do I have to make laundry detergent out of it

If you add 25% Borax, it makes a good laundry soap. Here is what I do to make 5 gallons liquid laundry soap (which will gel when cooled) Boil a large pot of distilled water. Take 1 bar of Zest (or any brand without a lot of chemicals), and shave it down into fine pieces. (I use a cheese grater). Add the fine pieces of bar soap to the water and melt it. Pour the soap water into the 5 gallon bucket. Add 2-3 cups of Washing Soda. Add 1-2 cup Borax. Add 1-2 cup Baking Soda. Mix well. Add more distilled water to fill bucket. I've been using this home made non-toxic laundry soap for years.

has anyone tried using this by itself to replace laundry detergent?

Yes! In an effort to be frugal and eco friendly I started using straight washing soda over 2 years ago. I'm the kind of person who researches everything to death; read the pros and cons of all different ingredients and homemade recipes and decided just to try straight washing soda. No smelly or dingy clothes, though a good spot remover is still necessary. Mind you I'm only washing adult, sometimes lightly soiled clothing so your mileage may vary. I have a top loader so I start the machine on warm, add the washing soda and let it dissolve a bit, then typically switch to cool and add my laundry. I don't have specific measurements to give since I am using a small scoop from my last and final canister of OxiClean Free (not as green as I thought!). Honestly though I'm probably using too much- and it only takes a couple tablespoons- as I read the agitator does most of the work.
