Wendy's Super Awesome Homemade Laundry Soap!
                                        Part 2.


Yea, lets make some laundry soap! Get the needed items. Remember it's easier than you think, Wayyyy cheaper and fun!

1 Bar of Grated Soap.  Dove, Fels Naptha.  No Ivory! I have tried it doesn't work well... It sucked so bad I threw it away, I couldn't dream of something else to make with it.
9 Cups of water
1 Cup of Borax
1 Cup of Washing Soda
Into a large pan heat 8 cups of water over medium heat. When the water starts to heat and bubble add the grated soap. Stir and cook until the soap and water have become one. Now add the Borax and Washing Soda to the pan. Stir very well and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Have your 3 one gallon containers ready. Use that Funnel thing and now evenly divide the soap mixture into each of the 3 one gallon containers. To each container fill half way with warm to hot water and shake to the heck out of each container. Once cooled shake them some more and fill each gallon with warm water 2 to 3 inches from the top. Shake it, Shake it, Shake It! As soon as the soap is room temp. it's ready to go!
Use 1/2 cup per medium to large load of laundry. Super load 3/4 cup works great for us. Need a Stain treat er? Pour your money saving laundry soap directly on the stained area and let it sit for a couple of hours or over night, then wash! My Kids are fillty! This works! If you are using an HE washer No Worries! This soap makes little to No bubbles! 
Alright, the cost... Start up: $8.00 ( at Walmart) , $9.00 (at Meijer) and $9.50 (at Kroger). 1 bar of Soap, a box of each Borax and Washing Soda. Remember you will only use 1 cup of each Borax and Washing Soda per Batch. That's 3 gallons of Laundry Soap for approx. $1.75 and 20 minutes of time V.S. 1-64 Load jug of Tide for $6.99!
