Home Made Laundry Detergent

Ingredients needed.

1 quart Water (boiling)

2 cups Bar soap (grated) one bar of soap makes 2 cups

2 cups Borax

2 cups Washing Soda

Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted.

You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.

Pour the soap water into a large, clean pail and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.

Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.

Cover pail and use 1/4 cup for each load of laundry. Stir the soap each time you use it (will gel).

If you have any empty plastic jugs or old laundry soap these work well, just shake before you use.

I bought 2 bars of soap and 1 box each of the washing soda and borax. All together I spent approximately $9.00. I will still be able to make another batch with ingredients left over. Each batch makes about two and one half gallons. You can adjust ingredients if your water is hard or soft.
