Ingredients:

  • 1 bar bath soap, grated (your favorite brand, fels naptha is great)

  • 1/2 cup borax
  • hot water

Directions:

  1. Place grated soap in a pot.

  3. Pour into 5 gallon bucket.
  4. Add washing soda and borax.
  5. Add enough hot water to fill the bucket.
  6. Stir (I use a long measuring stick, but any long stick will work).
  7. Let sit overnight to gel.
  8. Use 1 cup per load.
  9. (You can pour this into old detergent containers or leave in the bucket. Please cover with a lid if leaving in the bucket to protect children and pets.).
