Laundry Soap




Source of Recipe


Mer


Recipe Introduction


Origins Unknown


List of Ingredients




1 bar laundry soap (this is a specific bar, you can buy ready made like fels naptha)
1/2 cup washing soda
1 cup borax
5 gallon bucket



Recipe



In a gallon pot, put in one gallon of water and shredded laundry bar.

Heat until bar is completely melted.

Place melted soap in 5 gallon bucket, mix in washing soda and borax, add in 4 more gallons of warm water.

Let sit overnight.

Use: Add 1/2 cup to laundry.

Mers Notes: With some homemade bars the soap mix will be like regular liquid laundry soap, just white instead of see through.

With fels naptha and other kinds of laundry bars (including homemade) the soap will be a gel-like mixture.

1/2 cup of this mixture cleans my sons laundry (and they are filthy savages most days). I also use this on my cloth diapers.

You can replace the fels naptha bar with a home made bar like my friend Holly makes. (When they are handmade your laundry smells so good.) You will find the link below to make your own.
