I made my first batch of homemade laundry soap about 8 months ago and I have never looked back. It is so much cheaper than buying already made bottles of soap that are mainly water. My boys have eczema so I have to be careful what I use on their clothes and skin. I truely feel like their skin has improved since I have been using the homemade soap. Here is the recipe I use.
4 cups hot water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1/2 cup Borax
Grate the bar of soap and add to a saucepan along with the water. Stir continuosly over medium low heat till soap is melted. Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full with hot water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well till powders are dissolved. Add more hot water till bucket is full. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken. Stir. Fill clean, used laundry containers half full and then fill the rest of the way with water. Shake before each use.
Use 5/8 c per load for top load
Use 1/4 c per load for front load
I use my old All small and mighty bottles and get 30 bottles from each recipe.
