Home Made Laundry Soap

Home Made Liquid Soap (Cost $2.00/5 Gallons)
4 Cups Hot Tap Water (almost boiling)
1 Bar Fels Naptha
1 Cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1/2 Cup Mule Team Borax
5 Gallon Bucket with Lid

All items can be found at Macey's in the laundry soap isle.

Grate the bar of soap (with cheese grater) and add to the hot water, mix until the soap is softened and then add to a blender and blend on low to mix well.

Fill a five gallon bucket half full of very hot water, add the melted soap, the washing soda and the borax. Stir well to dissolve the powder. Fill the bucket to the top with more hot water. Mix well. Cover and let it sit overnight to thicken to a gel.

Fill a jug with half soap and half water, shake before each use. For a top loading machine use 1/2 Cup per load. You must still use a pre-spotter. This soap works well for high efficiency machines because it is low sudsing.

Fabric Softener-
Use 1 Cup white vinegar to rinse water

Take any liquid fabric softener and dilute it twice with water. Put two sponges in the solution. When needed just remove 1 sponge, squeeze it out and add to the clothes in the dryer just like you would a dryer sheet.


That is what they gave me...Wendy said her's didn't gel, but I don't remember what Sabrina said to do...it will still work, but its either stronger or weaker, I don't remember. You will have to call Wendy on that one. But they did say their clothes were whiter, and softer then ever before. Good Luck :)
