Put the lid on the VERY HEAVY bucket and leave it to rest for at least 8 hours.

It’s going to be very bubbly at first but will settle as it sits.Īfter the bucket is completely full I give it one last stir Next, measure 1 cup of Borax and dump into the bucket.įill your bucket the rest of the way with HOT water. Next, measure 1 cup of Super Washing Soda and dump it into the hot water/soap mixture. Once your bucket is half full of hot water, dump all the liquid Fels Naptha soap into the hot water bucket. We don’t need boiling water, but the hottest you can get on the tap works. Next, put your 5 gallon bucket in the sink ( or wherever you can fill it)įill it HALFWAY full with hot water.
Once you have your liquid soap, set it aside and take it off the heat. The soap has the tendency to bubble up and WILL overflow! Just make sure to cook it down until it’s liquid. NOTE: there are times we have ended the cooking too soon and are left with a few chunks of soap floating on the top… that’s okay! It will still work fine. You have to cook this mixture until all the soap is cooked down and turns to liquid. Next, put your grated soap into a heavy-bottomed pot with 2 cups of water. I have used many tools in the past to accomplish this. The first thing you have to do is grate your Fels Naptha down. Fels Naptha is soap…and has worked great on our clothes. If you notice, most bath bars are called “beauty bars” and are not allowed to be called soap. Powdered borax is white, consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve in water.įels Naptha soap is the stain remover. The Super Washing Soda is 100% sodium carbonate and has been used for over 100 years.īorax, also known as sodium borate is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. Overall, this detergent is much more gentle than any commercial cleaner.

However, read your owner manual and do your own research for your machine. The reports of the detergent being “harmful” seem to relate to making a powered version. NOTE: We use a HE washer and have had no issues with this detergent. I use the same Menards bucket over and over…Each time I make a new batch, I use warm water to rinse off the outside and inside. It needs to be clean with a tight-fitting lid. 📌To start with… I highly recommend getting a 5-gallon bucket from Menards or Home Depot. We have really clean clothes that are not just perfumed…they are CLEAN!.I can check detergent off my life for 3 months, sometimes longer.Safe for our septic system ( we have used it in septic and sewer).At first, it seemed DAUNTING! … It looked hard and not worth my time. I saw a version of this recipe and started making it. Gone are the days of lugging around a way too heavy container and looking for the best deals for my large family.
I have checked laundry soap OFF my grocery list for the last 7 years.
