Today I learned how to make my own laundry soap. It was so easy and inexpensive. This batch makes 5 gallons so make sure you have enough containers to hold it all if you decide to try it:)
1 Bar FelsNaptha Soap
1 cup Washing Soda (Arm & Hammer)
1 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax
5 gallon Bucket
Grate the bar of FelsNaptha. Place grated soap in a saucepan and cover with water (approx. 6-8 cups) Heat on low until dissolved. Add 1 cup washing soda and 1 cup Borax and mix well. Pour mixture into 5 gallon bucket. Fill the bucket with warm water, stop within 3 inches to the top. Stir well. As it cools it will thicken. Use 1/2-1 cup per load. Safe for use in H.E. washers. Yields approx. 75 cups.
