Laundry soap

I've decided to try to make my own laundry soap! It was actually really easy and quick after I finally located all the ingredients. Strange thing was, I had all but one. After spending the weekend looking for Washing Soda, I called Arm & Hammer this morning to find out where it is sold, and it was at Harp's here in Alma-go figure. Anyway, here is the recipe I used and a beautiful pic of it. I will post how well it works in a few days.

1/3 bar Fels Naptha soap, grated

1/2 cup Arm&Hammer Washing Soda

1/2 cup 20Mule Team Borax

large bucket to mix it in.

Mix Fels Naptha in a saucepan w/ 6 cups of water and heat on low until dissolved. Stir in Soda and Borax. Stir until thickened and remove from heat. Add 4 cups Hot Water to bucket then add soap mixture and mix well. Fill bucket with addtitional 1 gallon and 6 cups of water and mix. Set aside for 24 hours or until mixture thickens. Use 1/2 cup per load.
