Laundry Soap

I had seen a recipe for homemade laundry soap in one of my magazines and decided I wanted to try some.  I couldn't find the magazine, so I went on the internet and did a search.  I found a website called The Family Homestead.  She has full blown instructions on how she makes it and it was similar to the recipe I had seen.  So I mixed up a batch - actually it was a triple batch.  Used whole bar Fels Naptha, 1 ½ cups borax, 1 ½ cups washing soda.  Made two large plastic tubs worth of soap.  This should last us quite a while.
