My Homemade Laundry Soap
1~ 4lb 12 oz box of Borax
1~ 4 lb box of Arm And Hammer Baking Soda
1~ 3 lb 7 oz box of Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda
1~ 1.3lb container Oxy Clean - no perfumes
2 bars Fels Naptha Soap, grated
2 containers Downy Un Stopables
Mix all the ingredients in a large container.
This recipes makes a huge amount of laundry soap!
I put about a 1/4 of the soap in a big glass jar and made a pretty label for it. I purchased this cool jar from Target to store it in while using. I used the Martha Stewart chalkboard labels to make it my own. They work perfectly for this use.


I've read where you are to use about 2 tablespoons per load. I use about 3, and add them directly into the tub/drum. I also add vinegar to the dispenser for bleach.

    Will this work in an HE washer?

    Thank you for this! On the Downy Unstopables, what size of those do you use? They have a regular average size and then they have a super size? I like it to be perfumey so I would think the super size 1, but don't know if that would be too potent?

    Wondering how the soap melts if you wash in cold water as I do ?

    I am going to try and make my own soap also. About using vinegar. I have

    used vinegar for a long time. Beats the bleach,
