I have been making my own laundry soap for quite some time. I was at Rural King shopping and found the recipe in the laundry soap aisle with all of the makings. I decided to give it a try because other people I knew had tried it too. That recipe called for me to grate the soap and cook it and add all of this water to it. It worked well, it just took a bit to make it. Not to mention it made 2 1/2 gallons at a time. I found a new recipe online and decided to try it since there was no cooking involved. All you need is: 2 bars of fels naphta soap, 2 cups of borax, and 2 cups of washing soda. I grated the bars in my food processor then I mixed in all of the soda and borax. Gave it a good shake to mix it up and I was done!! I use 2-3 tablespoons per load, just depends on what I'm washing. What a productive weekend! Fabric softener made one day and laundry soap the next!
