1/3 bar Dr. Bronner's Castile Lavender or Peppermint (use a scent that you like)

1/2c washing soda

1/2c borax

Grate the soap and add it to 6 cups of water, heat until melted.  (Grating cuts the time that it takes to melt)

Slowly add the soda and borax. (NOTE and WARNING:  Add SLOWLY, the soap and water is very hot and this mixture if added to fast will bubble up and boil over.)

Remove from heat.

In the storage bucket, pour 4 cups of hot tap water.

Add the soap mixture.

Add 6 cups of water

Let the soap sit for 24 hrs.  Stir 1 to 2xs during the 24 hours.  At the end of the 24 hours the laundry soap will be thick and gel-like.

Use approximately ½ c. per load (adjust as needed depending on water softness and washing machine).
