Homemade Laundry Soap

This is the recipe I have been using for a couple years now. Cleans well, inexpensive and VERY easy to make!

This makes a double batch. Just over 3 gallons.

1 Bar of grated "laundry" soap like Fels Naptha or Zote

2 Cups Arm & Hammer Washing Soda

2 Cups Borax

Heat 1-1/2 Gallons of water on the stove. Melt grated soap. Lower temperature and add Washing Soda & Borax. Stir to dissolve.

In a large bucket add another 2-1/2 Gallons of hot/warm water. Add soap mixture and stir well. Let cook, stirring occasionally and it will gel.

Stir and break up gel when cool and funnel into jugs. Leave a bit of room to shake before use.
