The internet is rife with recipes for homemade laundry soap.
Yesterday, a friend and I embarked upon that adventure. It was so darn easy and
so darn cheap. We asked ourselves what took us so long?
The snow was flying as the Fels-Naptha bar was grated and
put in a few cups of water to melt on the stove at low heat. After about 15
minutes, stirring occasionally, the half cup each of Borateem and Washing soda
were added. When it was well blended, the mixture was poured into a bucket with
2 gallons of hot water. Then we poured it into our saved plastic containers to
1/3 full.

The mixture was gelled this morning, so all we have to do is
add water until the jug is 2/3 full and shake. I’m doing my first load as we
speak. It smells wonderful. We figure we each have enough soap to do laundry
for about six months at half cup a load. The supplies cost about three dollars!
