Description

Ingredients

• 4 cups boiling water
• 1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
• 1 cup washing soda
• 1/2 cup Borax
• Yummy smelling essential oils (I used Doterras citrus bliss) Optional
• 5 gallon bucket

Directions

• Heat 4 cups of water until boiling.
• Grate your Fels-Naptha soap bar (I just used a cheese grater) and add to boiling water. Stir continuously over medium low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
• Fill your 5 gallon bucket half full with HOT tap water, add melted soap, washing soda, and borax and stir well until all powder is dissolved.
• Fill the bucket the rest of the way to the top with hot water, stir, cover, and let sit overnight to thicken.
• The next day, stir well and fill an old laundry detergent container with detergent.
• If desired, add your essential oils at this point!
