Making Laundry Soap from Scratch

I wanted to try it for a while now, and I finally did. I made my own laundry soap and I really like it. I have 2 gallons of soap for under one dollar. I really like the feeling and smell of clean without the perfume smell. I got the recipe from the Living on a Dime newsletter. Here it is:
1/3 bar Fels Naptha Laundry Soap-grated,
6 cups water
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax
Heat the water and soap in a large pan until dissolved. Stir in washing soda and Borax. Mix and heat until dissolved. Boil 15 minutes. Remove from heat. In a 3 or 5 gallon bucket, ad 1 quart of hot water, then add the soap mixture. Mix. Add enough cold water to make a 2 gallon mixture. Mix until well blended. Let sit 24 hours. The soap will gel. Use 1/2 cup for each load.

Stir or shake before each use.

Waiting for tax-exempt status

We are waiting for tax-exempt status before we can launch this ministry. We hope to have it by the end of the year. So, for now, we are collecting information on budgeting, scratch cooking, gardening, sewing, being frugal and any other life skill that would allow for people to spend less money and have more money for more important things in life.
