Make your own laundry soap! =)

There are lots of variations but this is how I make it.

What you need
- a 5 gallon bucket
- a box of borax
- a box of washing soda
- a bar of soap
- lots of water

Heat 10 cups of water in a large pot. While it’s heating grate your bar of soap, I use fels-naphtha soap.

Stir until dissolved. Add 1 1/2 cups each of borax and washing soda. Stir again until dissolved. Pour 3 gallons of water in your bucket and add the soap mixture. Stir until mixed well. I usually top off the bucket and stir again.
Then using a funnel and a small pitcher pour your soap into your containers. Done! Easy peasy.
