1/2 Cup Borax
1/3 Bar of Fels Naptha Soap (grated)
2 Gallon Bucket or Larger
Empty laundry detergent containers or bucket with lid to store detergent
Grate 1/3 bar of Fels-Naptha Soap over large pot or saucepan.
Add 6 cups of Water.
Heat over medium-high until soap dissolves and melts.
Add Washing Soda & Borax, and stir until dissolved.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Pour 4 cups Hot Water into bucket, then add Soap Mixture.
Stir, then add 1 Gallon + 6 Cups of additional water. Stir.
Transfer to a bucket with a lid, or pour into empty laundry detergent containers.
Set aside, and let it sit overnight, or up to 24 hours, to thicken and gel up.
Consistency and color will vary depending on your soap & water ~ it may be lumpy and water, sort of like a watery gel.
Stir or shake before each use, as it will continue to gel.
