Homemade Laundry Soap

Our family has been making our own laundry soap for quite awhile now, and we really like it a lot. Supposedly, it only costs you 3 cents a load and it lasts for a long time! We usually double the recipe so that it lasts even longer. So anyway, we took pictures of the process a few times ago and I thought I'd share them with you, along with the recipe. :)

1 Bar Fels Naptha or Zote Soap

1 1/2 Cups Super Washing Soda

1 1/2 Cups Borax
12 Cups Water

These are all of the items you will need:

5 Gallon Bucket

Large pot

Grater

Measuring Cup

Grate the entire bar of soap. Pour grated soap into large pot.

Then add the water.

Add the Borax and Washing Soda. Heat on medium heat and stir until all of the soap is melted. (It takes awhile.) Remove from heat. Pour 8 cups of hot water into 5 gallon bucket. Now add soap mixture and stir. Now add 2 gallons plus 12 cups water and stir. Let the soap set for 24 hours.

And this is the finished product!

This is what we use to keep our soap in now. It's much bigger and holds a lot more! (We use the coffee cup to scoop it out! LOL!)

So there you have it! Your very own homemade laundry detergent.

I hope you have a nice weekend! God bless!
