All right ladies. Here is how you make your own laundry soap.
What you will need:
1 box Super Washing Soda
1 box Borax
1 bar of soap (I use Fels-Napha. But you can you Ivory,or Zolt.)
1 5 gallon bucket with lid (can get at lowes or homedepot)
Useful Tools:
Food Processor or cheese grater
Drill with an attachment that mixes cement. (can buy at home depot for less than $10)
For the essentials items, the start up is about 10 dollars. All of the ingredients can be found in the detergent isle at the supermarket. Every time that you make your soap you will only have to buy the bar of soap.
What to do:
Fill your bucket 3/4 full of warm water. Then get a large pot and put 4 cups water in it. Place on stove and put on med-low heat. Do not boil the water, just a simmer. Then use a cheese grater or a food processor to shred your soap. Put half of the soap in the pot, stir and dissolve. Then add the rest and repeat. While that is dissolving put the Borax and the Super Washing Soda in the bucket. Mix well. When the soap is done add it to the bucket. Mix well again. The water is going to start to thicken a little. Then put the lid on and let it sit for 48 hrs.
When you open the bucket there is going to be a thick layer of soap. Mix well (this is when the drill comes in handy). You will have to mix it up every time that you laundry. What does it smell like?, like the soap that you used. I just use a bounce drier sheet and the clothes come out smelling great.
Measurements:
1 cup soap for a full load
1/2 cup soap for a half load
If you have any questions call or post. Or just come on over with your supplies and we can make it together.

Hang on Margie. I can simplify this for you! 2 empty milk jugs with 8 cups of water!
your mix will be 4 cups of boiling water, add 1/3 bar of the Fels-N. Once it is melted, add 1/2 cup Borax, 1/2 cup A&H Washing Powder. Stir gently,. Add 4 more cups of boiling water and let cool. hit it with the hand wand for a minute every 15 minutes until cool. Evenly dip out into the gallon containers. Give a hard shake once or twice when added and before using. Mixture will separate, this is normal.
Use 1/4 cup for lightly soiled clothes and 1/2 cup for soiled clothes.
rub the left over Fels-N on stains like blood, grass, oil and toss into washer.
Hope this make it easy! We love this product!
If you add 20 drops of essential oil of your choice to each gallon, the house will smell great but it won't stick on the clothes. They will just have a clean fresh scent.
If you use Ivory or Dr Boners, you might get residue on your washer. This comes off with a pint of vinegar run through.
Dry powder... (for like sheets and bulky stuff)
1 cup borax 1 cup A&H washing powder and 2 bars of Dr Boners or Ivory grated fine. Mix together and use 1/8 cup for normal and 1/4 cup for soiled.
Thankyou for sharing! I'll try the recipe this weekend!
