I followed this recipe, and it worked out very nicely. It was also very fast n easy. Now laundry soap is pennies per load, and without so many of the extra chemicals and plastic bottles. I doubled the recipe and made 4 gallons very quickly.

1/3 bar of grated Fels Naptha laundry soap bar
1/2 c washing soda (not baking soda)
1/2 c borax

simmer some water with the grated soap and 2 powders in it until all it dissolved evenly. Put it in a 2 gallon bucket. Add more hot tap water, some cold tap water, then mix it up.

Use 1/2c in each load. You can use it right away, but after a while, it will gel up. I put mine in empty laundry soap containers with spigots on them. I am using 1/2c-1c since I always have big loads.

Borax and Fels Naptha are at just about any grocery store, I found the soda at Meijer.

I am still also a big fan of soap nuts!
