Years ago I went to a class to learn how to make laundry soap. I was pretty skeptical that it would a) be easy, b) actually clean my laundry, c) be cost efficient and worth my time to make it, and d) smell as good as my usual laundry soap. I am still making it, so that answers all my concerns!
Laundry soap:
2 c. grated Fels-Naptha Soap
Dissolve in 1 pint of warm water over the stove on medium.
Once fully dissolved, add 2 c. borax and 2 c. washing soda. Stir till dissolved.
Add 2 gallons of warm water and stir till mixed well. Take off heat and it's ready to go.
Some people store it in a bucket, but I like to pour it back into the cleaned out milk gallons and just pour it into my washing machine. It gels up when it cools, so I just shake it and then use it. You can use half of what you would use of liquid soap, and it truly works just as well as any commercial laundry soap for pennies compared to dollars!
