Homemade Laundry Soap with Ivory Soap
You will need:
Bar of Ivory soap
1 cup of washing soda (Arm and Hammer for example)
Water
Directions:
Fill large bucket or container with 3 gallons of hot tap water.
Grate the bar of soap into a saucepan. Add just enough water to cover the soap, and heat, stirring constantly until soap is dissolved.
Add soap/water mixture to the hot water in the bucket. Stir to combine.
Add 1 cup of washing soda and stir (do not mix up these steps).
As this cools, it will turn into a white gelatinous soap. Thickness depends on the size of bucket used.
Use 1 1/2 to 2 cups per load of laundry. You can add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the load as well. Use 1/2 cup vinegar in a downy ball as a softener (the vinegar smell does not stay in your clothes).
