Homemade Liquid Laundry Soap 4 Cups - hot tap water 1 Fels-Naptha soap bar 1 Cup - SODIUM CARBONATE- I use the store brand for Clorox 2 1/2 Cup Borax - Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir occasionally over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted. -Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir every few hours if you can and let sit overnight to thicken. It will be a big blob of gel in 24 hours but the more often you stir during the first 24 hours will help it not be so solid. STIR WELL before each use...it should be about the consistency of store bought detergent after you stir well. -Optional: You can add 10-15 drops of essential oil per 2 gallons. Add once soap has cooled. Ideas: lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil. -Top Load Machine- 1/2 to 1 Cup per load -Front Load Machines- 1/4 to 1/2 Cup per load *Arm & Hammer "Super Washing Soda" - in some stores or may be purchased online here (at Meijer.com). Baking Soda will not work, nor will Arm & Hammer Detergent - It must be sodium carbonate!!
