Make your own Laundry Soap

Liquid Laundry Soap

½ cup Borax
½ cup washing soda (NOT Baking Soda)
1 cup soap flakes or a grated bar soap
2 gallons water
20 drops essential oil (optional)

Combine borax, washing soda and most of the water. Boil soap flakes in remaining water and add to first mixture (you can also melt grated bar soap in the microwave). The soap will gel the mixture. If your water is hard, add more washing soda. Use about ½ cup per load. Works in cold water!
