Laundry Soap..Making Soap and Saving Money

Homemade Laundry Soap
1 bar Fels Naptha or Ivory Soap
1½ cup washing soda
1½ cup borax powder
1½ cup of Purex Powdered Bleach

Grate the soap, Like cheese, it's soft. Mix the ingredients and WaLa… you have powdered soap.

CAUTION.. 2 TBL is sufficient for a large load of wash and 1 TBL for a small load because this has NO fillers.. ENJOY

The Soap: Fels Naptha. It is an old-fashioned type of soap usually found in the laundry aisle. Another option is Ivory Soap. If you use Ivory use more.

Washing Soda: NOT to be confused with baking soda. It’s a white powder and helps remove dirt and odors.

Borax: Borax is a naturally occurring mineral: Sodium Borate. It is a white powder. It’s purpose is as a laundry whitener and deodorizer. The brand to look for is 20 Mule Tea

Purex Powdered Bleach: was my idea.. I like the whites white. (be sure it's color safe)
