[QUOTE="Santas and Duhram Reds, post: 628373, member: 6712"] Homemade Laundry Detergent (approximately 75 cents a gallon) 1/3 bar Fels Naphtha (we have only found this in grocery stores in the Laundry aisle) 1/2 Cup Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (not baking soda, again, have only found this in grocery stores in the Laundry aisle) 1/2 Cup Borax Grate soap in large sauce pan. Add 6 cups water, place on medium heat until soap melts. Add soda and borax and stir until dissolved. Let remain on heat 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from het, let stand for 5 more minutes. Pour 1/2 mixture in a gallon container (old laundry soap containers work well) and the other half in another container. Fill each jug with hot water and shake. Let stand 24 hours before using. Shake well before each use since it sometimes separates a little. 1/3 - 2/3 cups per load. It was mentioned that you can substitute Fels Naphtha with Ivory. You have to use the whole bar and the Ivory is not recommended for hard water. [/QUOTE]
