My Laundry Soap Recipie

You can find many other recipes for laundry soap on the internet, this is one I have tweaked till it suited me :)
1C Borax

1C Washing Soda

1C Biz (or any other Laundry booster)

1 bar of Fels Naptha

Grate the Fels-Naptha bar VERY FINE. Add to a large pot of hot water. Heat till soap melts. DO NOT OVER STIR and DO NOT LET BOIL. I then add the rest of the powdered soaps and stir slowly until it is dissolved as much as possible.
Pour into 5 Gal. Container

I got one like this at wal-mart it is all gray though and is a 5 gallon under $5.

SLOWLY add more hot water till full, keep stirring to dissolve the powders. I always pour from a pitcher into the container. Reason is, I don't like to create bubbles because your detergent will be all frothy and I hate that.....

okay here is where you choose.
-I like to use this recipe with 2/3 detergent and 1/3 water mixture or just straight detergent.
-You can however make this 5 gal into 10 gal. of detergent
-If you go by some recipes this would make 20gallons......This is just how I make mine, I like it this way and it cleans very well. I didn't feel that adding all the water cleaned my clothes as well. Of course it doesn't go as far but it is still cheaper, and still works wonderful.

BTW- You can use this with your HE machines I read 2TBSP per load. If what I read is correct it is better for your machines than the store bought brands.

I always use Fabric Softner. and here is a tip for you, I always just used Downey or Gain but somebody bought me a less expensive brand and it smells WONDERFUL!!!! The Yellow is my favorite, then the purple....Wish I would have tried it a long time ago!
