Dry Laundry Soap Recipe

I have had many people ask me if there is a dry laundry soap recipe. Well, it just so happens that my sister-in-law has one. It is very similar to the liquid laundry soap. I have tried it and it works just as well as the liquid and is less time consuming to make. I had Casey sit and grate a whole bar of fels naptha and we tripled the recipe. For other laundry tips, refer to earlier posts.
I have had a few people tell me though that the dry laundry soap does not dissolve well in a front loading machine.  If you use a front loading machine you can try the liquid laundry soap.

Dry Laundry Soap
1 c. grated fels naptha soap (1/3 of a bar)
1/2 c. borax
1/2 c. arm & hammer WASHING SODA
mix well & keep in covered container
use 1 T for regular clothes; 2 T for heavily soiled
