Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup washing soda
  • 1/2 cup borax
  • 2 oz fels-naptha bath soap (or zote)
  • 1 tsp essential oil , of you choice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 gallon water
  • 3 quarts water

Directions:

  1. Grate soap in food processor or use a cheese grater.
  2. Melt soap in 4 cups of water on the stove on medium heat.Do not boil.
  3. Add borax and washing soda.
  4. Stir until dissolved.
  5. Add fragrance.
  6. Pour mixture into a 3-5 gallon bucket or big anamel pot and add the rest of the water. Stir.
  7. Let it set overnight and it will gel.
  8. Pour into empty detergent bottles or store in covered bucket.
  9. Shake or stir before using. Use 1/4 cup per normal load of laundry. Use 1/2-1 cup for mens work clothes or socks.
  10. Once you have the ingredients, one box of Borax will make about 38 gallons of Laundry soap, each bar of Zote will make 14 gallons, and a 4 lb bottle of sodium carbonate makes 32 gallons. It cost me $14.72 to begin with [including 5 bars of Zote]. Because of the amount that each ingredient is sold in, I can make atleast 32 gallons of laundry soap which means 2048 loads of laundry for $14.72. Thats about 4 years worth for my family of 5 people.
