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.

Really? But my posts tend to be photo based so how well does that work? Hmmm, only one way to find out I suppose. Here are some snaps from our trip to Kansas City last week.
