Making Liquid Laundry Detergent?

Flag

I want to make liquid laundry soap with Fels Naptha, borax, Arm & Hammer baking soda, etc. I am not sure what the measure of each is and if there is something else that I missed.

The recipe I use is the Duggar's recipe. 1 bar grated Fels Naptha or Zote soap melted on the stove with 4 cups of water. Add 1/2 cup Borateem and 1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (NOT baking soda) and stir until dissolved. Pour into a 5 gallon bucket. Then fill the bucket with hot water. Cover overnight. It should become sort of gel-like. Stir again to incorporate all of the particles.

Fill an empty bottle of your choice (I use a 1 gallon vinegar bottle) 1/2 full of your detergent mixture, then top it off with warm water. You have to shake it before each use as it will separate. You can add essential oil like lavender if you want fragrance. Use 5/8 cup for a regular load of laundry.
