Laundry Soap

I have been making my own laundry soap since July. It has saved me sooo much money! I always loose the recipe so I am adding it for me! Enjoy! {If you want to try it let me know, i'll give you some! I LOVE IT!}

1 cup Super Washing Soda (made by Arm & Hammer, I bought it at Ace)
1/2 cup Borax
1 Soap bar (Ivory is most natural)
1/3 bar Fels Napa (opional but gets out stains better)

■Grate the bar soap and add to a large saucepan with hot water. Stir over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
■Fill a 5 gallon bucket with 3 gallons warm water. Add the melted soap, Borax and Washing soda, stir well until all powder is dissolved. Let it sit overnight before first use.
■Use 1/2 cup per load, stirring soap before each use (will gel).

I fill a small Tid e container with soap each week from the bucket so that I can shake it up really good before each use.
Let me know if you have any more questions Also it looks watery kinda like Egg Drop soup
