I used Dr Bronners Castille soap, makes it a "green" laundry detergent then. The first batch I used the bar and had to great but then I found a store(locally) that carries the liquid. You can also purchase it online. I was lucky they have a new scent, citrius, smells great on the laundry!

Today I was able to purchase fels naptha (99 Cents), Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda and 20 Mule Borax at Publix. If you go to dial.com, then go to dial products, you can find which stores in your area carry the fels naptha

www.soapsgonebuy.com is a great place to look. The soap sells for $1.50, but I suggest purchasing more than that one bar of soap since you do have to pay shipping and handling. Hope that helps.

If you have a Krogers in your area look there. It should be in the laundry detergent section on the top shelf. It looks like a bar of soap. It's hard to spot because it's so small compared to the other detergent. You could go to the Kroger web site.

I take all the small pieces of bath soap that no one seems to use and grate that.It works fine and there is no waste.

I found a bar of Fels Naptha at Wal-Mart. It's a big bar and I'm sure it will last a long time. I used it for a stain pre-treater and it works wonderfully!

RE: Locating Ingredients for Laundry Soap
fels naptha is in a "bar". Maybe you're not looking for the correct form of this soap. It's by the laundry detergents, blueing, starch, etc.

I use Tide, washing soda and borax. Have you looked in the laundry isle of the grodcery store. I have no trouble finding it. It is made by Arm & Hammer so a possible google search may work for you to find it. I do not add scent to my mix at all.

Try finding the items in your grocery stores. Our Wal-Mart does not carry any of that except they do sometimes carry the essential oils. Washing soda is definitely something I can only find at our local grocery store. To tell the truth, there are so many different laundry soaps out there that I'm not sure if it really is cheaper to make your own or not. Using care and soaking, etc. with your laundry I believe has the best results, even if you use a less expensive laundry soap.

You can get the washing soda and fels naptha soap at Krogers in the detergent section or you can get them online at www.soapsgonebuy.com but, it will cost a bit more.
You can also use Ivory or a deoderant soaps but the fels soap is best. I also put in some all purpose bleach with the washing soda and the borax using the same amount of each.
The essential oils can be purchased at a health food store or online at www.iherb.com just scroll down to the bottom page and essential oils will be there. I just use some lavender perfume oil that I purchased at the Family Dollar Store for $2.00 or don't use any at all. You can put a capful of fabric softener to 2 capfuls of water and place in a enclosed container with a small sponge and wring the sponge out and place in dryer with clothes. Then put the sponge back into container for the next load of clothes!
I hope you try the recipe out because I have been making it for a little over a year now and love the results and the money saved. I also have fun making it! GOOD LUCK!

kirks or zoat soap can be used instead of fels. i use zoat, its cheap and comes in a huge bar. as for the washing soda, i think the arm and hammer webpage has a number you can call to locate it in your state. if that doesnt work, theres a website you can order all that stuff from. www.soapsgonebuy.com is the addie. i belong to another website that says if your a member and if you type "frugal" in the discount code he'll give you an extra 15% off your order. check out www.thefrugalshopper.com
