Liquid Laundry Soap

I see everyone posting a out Laundry Detergent and would like to share my recipe I’ve been using for over 3 years now!

This jar is from WALMART and is 2.5 gallons.
*Grate half a bar of Fels Neptha soap and melt in 2 cups of water.
*While that is melting fill your container half way with hot water (I find this makes it easier to dissolve the Washing Soda and Borax)
*Add 1/2 cup of washing soda and 1/4 Borax
*Once soap is dissolved add to the container and mix until combined
*Top off remainder of container with water (until its 2.5 gallons total)
*Add in any essential oil if desired (MY go too are Lavender or Lemon or Citrus)
*Allow to sit for 24 hours (it will start to gel up, thats normal and okay stir occasionally) then mix together well when set.

To wash: Add NO MORE than a quarter cup depending on washing. I use about 1/16 on average for a load of clothes. Beddings and husbands work clothes on heavy washes get more (bought a tiny measuring cup at Walmart and use that as my “cup”)
