Laundry Soap

1 quart Water (not boiling)
1 Bar soap grated...choose your favorite...
1 cup Borax
1 cup Laundry Soda and/or oxyclean

Add finely grated bar soap to the hot water a little at a time and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted. Do NOT Boil.
Put 3 gallons hot water in a five gallon bucket. Pour the soap water into bucket of water and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
Stir until well mixed, it may become foamy. If it get close to the top stop stirring and the foam should go down.
Let sit over night. The compound will gel. Cover.

Use 1/8c or 1/4c with each load of laundry.

Personal note: I prefer this soup for my front load washing machine. I am going to try fabric softener next.
