Here is something totally different! This isn't the typical recipe that is shared on this site, but hopefully it can be useful to someone. I had never heard of these ingredients before I made this soap and so I had no idea what I was looking for, I have taken a picture of the ingredients so you won't have the trouble I did. I found everything in the Laundry aisle at my grocery store. I hope the Grenada girls can find what they need as this stuff works WAY better than that awful Breeze detergent. All the ingredients together cost around $5 and will last you for several batches. I have not priced it exactly but I have been told that 1 batch costs less than $1! For my family of 3 and being generous in the amount of soap I use 1 batch lasts me 6 weeks. As you can see in the picture Plastic juice bottles are the perfect storage containers. Can you tell I like it!?
1/3 bar grated Fels Naptha Soap1/2 cup Washing Soda or sodium carbonate (NOT sodium bicarbonate)
1/2 cup Borax
You will need a small bucket (2 gallon size).
Put grated Fels Naptha into a large sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat, until soap melts. Add Washing Soda & Borax. Stir until dissolved & remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Add soap mixture and stir. Now add 1 gallon (16 cups) plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours. It will gel. Use 1/2 cup per load.
