How to make soap that is cheap and works great.
First gather up your ingredients
1/3 Bar of Fels Naptha laundry Bar Soap (grated)
1/2 Cup of 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster
1/2 Cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
1 5 Gallon Bucket with lid
Next
Mix Grated Fels Naptha Soap with 6 cups of water in sauce pan, heat until soap melts.
The finer grating melts better.
It's important to get as much of this melted as you can in order for it to gel up appropriately.
Next step is Add washing Soda and Borax to Sauce Pan Mix. Mix Well until Washing Soda and Borax Dissolve.
Pour 4 cups of Hot Water into Bucket and add mixture from sauce pan.
Add another 1 gallon 6 cups of water and stir well.
Allow 24 hours for soap to gel.
Use 1/2 a cup of soap per load, recipe produces approximately 50 loads.
Kepp the soap and ingredients out of reach of children and keep bucket sealed when soap is not in use. A Double recipe may be produced with the 5 gallon bucket.
When it's ready I put some in an old Detergent bottle. I made this batch about 3 weeks ago and I'm still using whats in the bucket, I haven't touched whats in the bottle.
I have sensitive skin but this has never caused me to break out and as an added bonus you can use the borax and washing soda for other household cleaning uses.
