Least Expensive/Most Effective Laundry Soap Ever

Reposted from Jill Savage's Blog

Ingredients:

  • 5 gallon bucket
  • 1 bar Fels Naptha Soap
  • 1/2 cup Borax
  • 1 c. Arm and Hammer Washing Soda

Directions:

1. Grate and melt bar of soap in 4 cups water on stove.  Add to other ingredients in bucket. 

2. Fill bucket w/hot water and stir.  Cover and let sit overnight.

3. Stir and then pour your homemade detergent into left over laundry detergent bottles only until 1/2 full. Add water to fill to top. 

4. Shake before using each time.

5. Use a full cup of detergent in each load.  

Notes:

1. Ingredients not always available at Walmart, but usually you can find them at Cub Foods and Kroger.

2. This detergent does not create suds in the washer, but it cleans just the same. Because of this, it also works in High Efficiency Front Load machines.)
