Marlayna's Recipe!


Here is Marlayna's own personal recipe for laundry soap. It's economic, organic, and she swears by it. I'm definitely going to be trying this one out for myself!

Marlayna's tip: My mother-in-law fills an entire "tidy cat" container with this stuff. It makes a lot!

1 Bar Fels Naptha
1.5 c Washing Soda
1.5 c Borax

Grate soap & put in a large pot. Add 18 cups (1gal + 2c) water. Stir over medium-low heat until soap dissolves/melts. Add the dry ingredients and stir until they dissolve. Add 12c hot water to the bucket and pour in soap mixture. Stir & mix. Add 5 gallons more of hot water. Continue to stir occasionally until the soap turns into a gel, almost like egg whites. When washing, use the same amount you would if you were using your usual soap.
