HOMEMADE LAUNDRY SOAP (LIQUID AND POWDERED)

Steps:

• Mix grated Fels Napth soap in a saucepan with 3 pints hot water and heat on low until dissolved. Sitr in Washing Soda and Borax. Stir until it slightly thickens, and remove from heat. Add 1 quart hot water to the 2 gallon bucket. Add soap mixture, and mix well. Fill bucket with additional hot water to make 2 gallons and mix well. Set aside for 24 hours until mixture thickens. I try and stir it once and awhile. If you don't by the next day it is like jello and you just have to stir until it mixes. (might have to use your hands even). Use 1/2 cup of mixture per load
• For the powdered detergent just mix and store in airtight container. Use 2 tablespoons for light loads and 3 tablespoons for heavy loads. to make a large batch- grate 6 bars fels Napth soap and then add 3 cups Washing Soda and 3 cups Borax.

• Cover with 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 fill the bucket.
• Stir (I use a long measuring stick, but any long stick will work).
• Let sit overnight to gel.
• Use 1 cup 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.).
