Making our own laundry soap.

 It may look like grated cheese, but it is a bar of Fels-Naptha soap.
 Melt it down till it's smooth.
 Add hot tap water half way up in a clean 5 gallon bucket.
 Then mix all the ingredients.
 1/2 cup of Borax,
 1 cup of Super Washing Soda. Mix it till everything dissolves.
Then fill up the rest of the bucket with hot tap water, cover and let it thicken overnight.
I will then use this as a concentrate which will end up making 10 gallons of soap. Saves our family a bunch of money. :)

Thank y'all for all your nice comments on my blog. It's always nice hearing from you.

My sister makes this soap and loves it too. I of course can't get all the ingredients here, so can't make it until I'm state side again.

God bless y'all, and have a super day in Him!
