Laundry Soap

1 1/2 bars of Fels Naphta soap
2 c. washing soda
2 c. Borax
2 c. tide with bleach OR Clorox 2 (color safe bleach)

Grate Fels Naptha soap. Heat and dissolve in 1 gal. water. Remove from heat and stir in washing soda and borax. Mix well. Pour 2 1/2 quarts HOT WATER into a 5 gal. bucket (or half it and put into 2 - 2.5 gal buckets). Add Fels Naptha solution and Tide, stirring well. Fill bucket/s with cold water. Stir until mixed together. Ready to use in 24 hours. Use 1/2 -3/4 c per load. Increase for heavily soiled clothes.

We use this all the time and it saves us about $40.00 a month on buying laundry soap. It's wonderful stuff George! (as my uncle would say)
