Laundry soap recipe

1 bar Ivory soap

1 cup washing soda

½ cup borax

This amount will make 10 gallons of liquid laundry soap!!!

Directions: Shave soap and dissolve in 4 cups hot water. Then add soda and borax. Fill a 5 gal bucket ½ full of hot water and dissolve the mixture. Then add enough water to fill the bucket and let it sit overnight. Then if you want your laundry soap to smell good add 20-30 drops of your favorite essential oil. Then mix the soap 1 to 1 with water when you are ready to use it.

Use 1 cup of fully mixed soap per load of laundry

*Cost: this costs $1.10 per 160 loads of laundry or about ¾ of 1 cent per load
