Being a Frugal and Fullfilled homemaker... (proverbs 31 woman!)

Hello all! I told some of you that I would post some information on making your own laundry soap... I was fortunate enough to get this recipe from a friend and fellow homemaker who is VERY inspiring in her frugal endeavors... :) not only is this recipe incredibly HYPOALLERGENIC it has almost NO smell so you can add essential oils or just use the dryer sheets you like for what smell you would like :)

IN A LARGE POT (ONE YOU ONLY USE FOR SOAP/CLEANER MAKING PREFERABLY)

4 QT WATER
(MEDIUM HEAT ON BURNER)
ADD- 1/2 C 20 MULE TEAM BORAX (SODIUM BORATE)
1/2 C ARM & HAMMER WASHING SODA (SODIUM CARBONATE)
STIR AND ADD 1/3 TO 1/2 C GRATED UP BAR OF FELS-NAPTHA

STIR UNTIL DISSOLVED... POUR INTO A 5 GALLON BUCKET AND ADDWATER TILL YOU REACH THE 3 GAL MARK.
AFTER IT COOLS YOU CAN POUR IT INTO OLD LAUNDRY CONTAINERS OR GALLON JUGS AND FILL MOST OF THE WAY UP WITH WATER (SORTA UNTIL IT'S THE CONSISTENCY YOU WANT)

IT WILL WANT TO GEL UP SO YOU CAN EASILY SHAKE IT WHEN YOU USE THESE KINDS OF CONTAINERS.

IT'S SORT OF A CAN'T MESS IT UP THING... IF IT'S A BIT RUNNY JUST USE MORE WHEN YOU DO YOUR LAUNDRY... USUALLY A 1/3 TO 1/2 C PER LOAD IS JUST RIGHT.
SUPPLIES:
LARGE PAN FOR COOKING
LARGE SPOON
5 GAL BUCKET
FUNNEL
OLD LAUNDRY CONTAINERS OR GALLON JUGS
ARM & HAMMER WASHING SODA
GRATED FELS NAPTHA BARS
20 MULE TEAM BORAX


Oh and I almost forgot... I just cleaned my washing machine to sparkling clean by running a hot load with 2 cups of white vinegar. AMAZING :)
