Ingredients:
1/3 bar Fels Naptha Soap
1/2 cup Borax
1/2 cup Washing Soda
Directions:
Grate the soap and put into a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water to the sauce pan and heat until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the Borax and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups HOT water into a big bucket (bigger than 2 gallons). Add your soap mixture and stir. Let the soap sit for 24 hours and it will gel. After 24 hours mix well with your hands and let it sit another 24 hours. Put the laundry soap into a container to use.
Use 1/2 cup per load, or 1/4 for HE washers.
Shake well before using.
Ive noticed this works well with sensitive skin and makes a great product for laundering cloth diapers as well.

I use this same basic recipe but as a dry/powdered version. LOVE it. If it's on sale, I'll substitute Dr. Bronners bar soap (the peppermint is my fave) for the fels naptha.
