Liquid Laundry Soap

Liquid laundry soap is more time consuming to make, but still works great. It depends on the type of washing machine you own, which type of soap you can use. Top loading machines can use liquid or dry laundry soap. Front loading machines are more specific and you will have to check your machine to see if it accepts dry soap or liquid only.

6 Cups  water

1/3  bar  grated Fels-Naptha  soap 

½  Cup Washing SODA by Arm & Hammer -NOT Baking soda soap, NOT laundry soap

½  Cup Mule Team Borax

Use a 2 -5 gallon bucket

4 Cups Hot water

22 Cups Hot water

Mix: grated Fels-Naptha soap in a large saucepan with  6 C water.  Heat on low until dissolved.  Remove from heat and stir in Washing Soda and Borax.  Stir until thickened.  Add 4 C hot water  (boiling water will make it dissolve faster) to the 2 gallon bucket.  Add soap mixture from saucepan and mix well.  Fill bucket with hot water until 2 gallons is reached (about 22 more cups water).  Mix well.  Set aside uncovered for 24 hours or until mixture is thickened.
