Homemade Laundry Detergent

1 quart of boiling water
2 cups grated bar soap (I use Fels-Naptha soap found in laundry aisle and just grate the whole bar)
2 cups Borax (found in laundry aisle)
2 cups Washing Soda (found in laundry aisle)
2 gallons of water

Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.
Pour the soap water into a large, clean bucket and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.
Cover bucket and use 1/4 cup for each load of laundry. Stir the soap each time you use it as it will gel up..

When using, this does not suds up.

I have great luck with this soap. All of the ingredients are stain removers so it works well when the kids have been rolling around in the yard.

**Note: I use this often for me and MY family and it works for us, however, just like any other product, some people may be allergic to some ingredients. Please read all labels before purchasing the products to make this detergent.**
