How to Make Your Own Laundry Soap

You will need the following ingredients:

1 bar Fels Naptha soap
1 box Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 box Borax
1 (2 gallon) bucket
All of these items can be found in the laundry aisle of your local grocery store.

-Grate 1/3 of the bar of Fels Naptha soap into a large saucepan. Add 6 cups water to the grated soap and heat on the stove until soap is completely melted. Add 1/2 cup borax and 1/2 cup washing soda to the soapy water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
In the 2 gallon bucket, add 1 gallon plus 10 cups water. Then add your soap mixture and stir. Let your laundry detergent sit for at least 24 hours before using it. It should gel up a little. You will use 1/2 cup of your homemade detergent per load.
