Laundry Detergent Recipe

This recipe makes one 5 gallon bucket of laundry detergent.
**laundry detergent has no smell** But the smell isn't what cleans your clothes


1bar of Fels-Naptha soap
1/2 Cup Borax
1/2 Cup Washing powder
1 5gallon bucket & lid

You can find all the ingredients at Fred Meyers on the laundry soap isle, well except the bucket, that you get at Lowes or Home Depot

Grade the whole bar of soap. Melt in 4cups of water on the stove.
Pour into the bucket
Add the Borax and the washing powder
Fill the bucket to the top with water - lukewarm or Hot
Let sit overnight


Use 1/4 - 1/2 cup of soap per load.
*The detergent will look like gel with a little liquid, use the gel & liquid when measuring each load*
