Laundry Soap

Grandma Lincoln asked me to include this in a posting, so here you go:

Laundry Soap

1 bar grated Fels Naphtha Soap
4 1/2 gallons really warm water
1 c. washing soda
1 c. borax

Cover soap with water in saucepan and heat until dissolved.


Pour in water. (Hope you can find a 5 gallon bucket.)
Add washing soda and borax.


Stir until it is all dissolved.
As it cools it will thicken. (Add more water if necessary.)
It does not make suds but does a good cleaning job.
If you don't like the smell, add Lavender Essential Oil, a few
drops until you like the odor. Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup per load.

Good luck.
