Grate 1 bar of soap (Zest, Ivory, etc.) and dissolve in 1 quart of boiling water. After it’s all dissolved, transfer to 5 gallon bucket. Add 2 cups of Borax and 2 cups of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda. Mix until all dissolved, then add 2 gallons of water. Mix well. Mixture will gel, so make sure you give it a good stir every hour or so until it’s cooled down. Otherwise it will become clumpy. Use ¼ cup per load.
I started making this about 6 months ago and I will never use store bought stuff again! It cleans just as good, if not better than anything I’ve tried. Plus, I spent about $10 on all the ingredients and I still have about half left. I also use it to treat stains!
