$7.80 worth of supplies
4 Cups – hot tap water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup – Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
½ Cup Borax (I used 1 cup Borax)
- - Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually 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, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.
- -Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser or and container that you would like (i used a water container that had a spout) half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel)
- -Optional: You can add 10-15 drops of essential oil per 2 gallons. Add once soap has cooled. Ideas: lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil.
Once you’re ready to use the laundry soap, shake it in the container first. Then add:
-5/8 cups for a regular top-loading machine
-1/4 cup for a front-loading (HE) machine
five gallons of homemade laundry detergent :) and it works awesome and only cost dollar a batch

This laundry soap doesn't create suds, but it doesn't need to in order to get your laundry clean.
I love this recipe.
