Homemade Laundry Detergent

1/3 bar Fels Naptha, Zote or Ivory
½ cup washing soda
½ cup borax powder
~You will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~

Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan.  Add 6 cups water and heat 
it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir
until it is dissolved.  Remove from heat.  Pour 4 cups hot water into 
the bucket.   Now add your soap mixture and stir.  Now add 1 gallon 
plus 6 cups of water and stir.  Let the soap sit for about 24 hours 
and it will gel.  You use ½ cup per load.  This stuff is awesome!!!
