Homemade Laundry Soap (liquid)

4  Cups – hot tap water
1  Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 Cup – Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
½ Cup Borax
5 gallon bucket (you can find them at lowes or other home improvement stores)
a BUNCH of empty clean containers (I used a large laundry jug and a few juice jugs)

(I have found all of the ingredients at my local Walmart, I am sure other grocery stores have them, I will post pictures soon of the ingredients)

Grate the bar of soap and add to saucepan with the water. Stiring continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.

Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of HOT tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.

Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel)
