Liquid Laundry Detergent
1 bar Fels Naptha soap
1 cup Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
Water
Grate or shave the bar of soap. Place 4 cups hot water in a saucepan and add the soap. Cook on medium until all the soap dissolves, stirring constantly. Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot water. Add soap mixture, the washing soda and the Borax. Stir until dissolved. Fill the bucket to the top with hot water. Stir and seal. Let it cool over night. Pour 1/2 gallon of the cool soap mixture into a large bowl or bucket. Add 1/2 gallon of hot water and stir well until mixed. Pour into gallon containers. (I use 4- 50 oz. used liquid detergent containers. They are all the same brand and color. I like the look of all of them lined up on the shelf above the washer and dryer.)
Shake well before using.
Use 1/2 cup per load.
Or 2/3 cup for heavily soiled laundry.
