Homemade Laundry Soap



There are many variations to this homemade laundry soap recipe.

You can check out Crystal's recipe from the Family Homestead, or you

can try my variation to hers.

One full bar of Fels Naptha (You can find this in the laundry section of your grocery store.)
One cup of Borax
One cup of Washing Soda (Not baking soda)

Put Fels Naptha into a large kettle with some water.  (It doesn't really matter how much.  You just want to melt the soap thoroughly.)

When soap is melted well, then add in the Borax and Washing Soda.  Be sure everything dissolves well.

Fill a five-gallon bucket with water.  Leave enough room for the melted soap mixture.

Stir up, and add in fragrance, if wanted.

I use a cup per load, but many people report only using 1/4 cup of laundry soap.
