Recipe Introduction

Inexpensive and works great. Clothes come out clean and soft. I grate the soap in my food processor.

List of Ingredients

1 bar bath soap, grated (your favorite brand or Fels Naptha works great)
1 cup Super Washing Soda laundry detergent (a laundry booster)
1/2 cup Borax
Hot water



Recipe

Place grated soap in a pot.
Cover with some water and simmer over medium heat until all soap is melted, stirring occasionally.
Pour into 5-gallon bucket.
Add washing soda and borax.
Add enough hot water to almost fill the bucket.
Stir well with a long spoon or stick.
Let sit overnight to gel.

Use 1-2 cups per load.

(You can pour this into old detergent containers or leave in the bucket. Please cover with a lid if leaving in the bucket to protect children and pets.).
