I love this recipe. I have already gone through one GIGANTIC batch of this and just made my second batch last night. It is great, it smells good, it is CHEAP and I love it. Which made me want to share it with you! You can find most of these ingredients at any grocery store on the laundry aisle.
LIQUID LAUNDRY SOAP
Ingredients:
4 cups hot tap water
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 c washing soda
1/2 c Borax
Directions:
Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with the 4 cups of hot tap water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
Fill a five-gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Sir, cover, and let sit overnight to thicken.
Stir and fill a used, clean laundry soap dispenser (or a gallon milk carton) half full with soap and then fill the rest of the way with water. Shake before each use. (It will gel)
Optional: add 10-15 drops of essential oil per each 2 gallons.
For a front load machine add 1/4 cup per load
Yield: Approximately 640 loads
Looking at the liquid laundry soap “recipe”
What is washing soda?
You will find it in the laundry aisle. I think I found mine at Macey’s grocery store! Mine is in a rectangular box, pretty good sized.
Thanks!!
