I can't believe I FINALLY tried this soap out after telling myself for the past three years I was going to make some! After seeing about ten different recipes online I came up with this one...
1/3 bar of fels-naptha soap
1/2 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax
Grate the naptha bar soap (you can use another kind if you like...zote, ivory, etc). Add this and your other ingredients to about six cups of boiling water. Boil for another 15 minutes. It ends up creamy-like. I pour ~two quarts of hot tap water into an old detergent container (~two gallon container). Then I pour my soap in and then top it off with plain cold water. Shake and you are ready to use! I have a front load washer so I'm only suppose to use HE detergent and this qualifies (or so I've read!). Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup per load.
I received two thumbs up from my hubby after he washed his grimmy work clothes. I've used it on my sink, tub and even my toilet. I do believe I'm going to like it! Oh, and I almost forgot...because I LOVE lavender essential oil, I sprinkled about 10-15 drops into the big container. Who knew cleaning could be so much fun? (Ok, I may be pushing it a little!)
So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
