Homemade Laundry Soap

1/3 bar Fels Naptha or other type of soap such as Zote or Ivory
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax powder

~you will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~

Grate the soap and put in a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir. now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel.

Use 1/2 cup per load, and stir/ shake well before using each time.
