Homemade Laundry Soap
2. In a large saucepan, add soap and 6 c water until the soap is completely dissolved. Add borax and washing soda and stir until thickened. Remove from heat.
3. Pour this mixture into a large pail. Add 4 c of water and your essential oil and mix well. Add another 22 c of water and stir again. Allow the mixture to sit over night. Will thicken as it rests.
Use 1/4c - 1/2c of soap per load of washing. Homemade laundry detergent does not sud, but that doesn't mean it's not working!
