Laundry Soap Recipe

Smileycons!

I have had two requests for this recipe in the past week so here it is again. The last time it was on here I had just put a link to the recipe from another source. This time I am putting the complete recipe on. As it so happens I am doing laundry today and I am using this soap. Still love it...one of the main things I like is that no fabric softener is necessary. Everything comes out clean and soft.

Laundry Soap
 
3 Pints(6 Cups) Water
1/3 bar Fels Naptha Soap, grated
1/2 cup Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (Arm and Hammer, NOT baking soda though!!)
1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax
2 Gallon bucket to mix it in
1 Quart hot water
Hot Water

Mix Fels Naptha Soap in a saucepan with 3 pints hot water and heat on
Low until dissolved. Stir in Washing Soda and Borax. Stir until thickened,
And remove from heat. Add 1 Quart Hot Water to 2 gallon Bucket. Add
Soap mixture, and mix well. Fill bucket completely with additional hot
Water, and mix well. Set aside for 24 hours, or until mixture thickens.
You may add additional HOT water if the mixture becomes too thick. 
Mix Well before each use. Use 1/2 cup of mixture per load.
Makes 64 loads. Cost per load .03.
