For those who haven't seen the recipe for the homemade laundry soap, here it is:
4 cups hot tap water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar (or 1/2 Fels-Naptha, 1/2 Ivory)
1 cup Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continuously over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted. Fill a 5 gallon bucket full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda, and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to the top with more hot water. Stir, cover, and let sit overnight to thicken. In the morning, stir and fill a clean, used laundry soap dispenser half full with soap mixture. Fill the rest with water. Shake before each use (will gel).
Yield: 10 gallons
Top-Load Machine: 5/8 cup per load
Front-Load Machine: 1/4 cup per load
