Laundry Soap

Does 100 loads.

1/3 bar Fels Naptha soap, grated (found in the laundry detergent aisle of store)
1 cup Borax (find in same place)
1 cup Washing Soda (not baking soda)

1 gallon/6 qt. pot
cheese grater
funnel
large wooden/metal spoon
a 5 gallon bucket
3  one gallon containers to put soap in (Jugs that juice come in work well.)

Measure 1 gallon of water and pour into the pot. Turn on to medium heat. Put 2 gallons of water into the 5 gallon bucket.  Grate the Fels Naptha and add to pot of water.  Stir until dissolved.  Add Borax and Washing Soda.  Stir until that dissolves and mixture thickens a little.  Remove from heat and pour into the 5 gallon bucket (that already has water in it.)  Stir.  Using funnel, pour into the 3 one gallon containers.  Shake before using because it separates.  It has a milky/cloudy color.. Use 1/2 cup per load.  (Front loading machines use 1/4 cup.)
