Laundry Soap Recipe

I have had several requests for the recipe of laundry soap we made. The recipe wasn't mine but the Duggers ( the soap is great, not even my redhead is reacting)

For those that don't have the time to look it up the recipe is as follows:

1 bar ivory soap large size ( grated )

1 cup arm and hammer washing soda not baking soda

1/2 cup borax

add grated soap to enough water to cover it in a sauce pan

melt

put washing soda and boax in a 5 gallon bucket

pour in hot melted soap mixture

stir until completely mixed

fill bucket to top with tap water

let set over night

fill half of a smaller dispenser with mixture add water to fill container to top

Shake before using

top loading machines 1 cup

front loading machines 1/2 cup

It has been working great for me!
