35 min | 15 min prep
80 loads (aprox.)
- 1 bar bath soap, grated (your favorite brand, fels naptha is great)
- 1 cup arm & hammer super washing soda laundry detergent (a laundry booster)
- 1/2 cup borax
- hot water
- Place grated soap in a pot.
- Cover with water and simmer over medium heat until all soap is melted, stirring occasionally.
- Pour into 5 gallon bucket.
- Add washing soda and borax.
- Add enough hot water to fill the bucket.
- Stir (I use a long measuring stick, but any long stick will work).
- Let sit overnight to gel.
- Use 1 cup per load.
- (You can pour this into old detergent containers or leave in the bucket. Please cover with a lid if leaving in the bucket to protect children and pets.).
