Homemade laundry soap

Homemade Laundry Soap


What you need
1/2 cup washing soap 
1/4 cup borax
1/2 bar of soap 
24 cups of water  
storage container(s)

What you do

This is the scary part, cut up the bar or soap into slivers. I used a knife, but I'm sure there a million other things you could use to do this safely! 
Once that's done pour 4 cups of water into a big pot and bowl the water, put heat on low. Put in the soap slivers a little at a time. Stir until the soap is melted into the water. 
Add the rest of the water to your storage container or where you're going to mix everything up in 
Add the washing soap, borax and soap mixture and stir all together.
Let sit 24 hours 
and you're good to go!
My mixture was a bit slimy, but it works great! Use 1 cup per load. 
If you want it to be more scented use a few drops of essence oils.
