First we shredded up a bar of Ivory soap and boiled it in a little water...
And while it boiled, we added 3 gallons of hot water to 5 gallon bucket.
Then we poured the dissolved Ivory soap into the bucket of hot water and also added Borax and "pH increaser" (also known as washing soda, soda ash or sodium carbonate).
We stirred it every hour and then when it cooled, we had homemade laundry soap!
T-Man enjoyed having the job of "stirring the soup" as he called it!
I have to say thanks to Angie, who I've never met, but she blessed me with all her advice on making my new money-saver a possibility!

I've often thought about making soap but just haven't done it. I do believe I will try it, since you say its super easy and cheap, cheap, cheap! Can you post the recipe, or email it to me?
Thanks, Grace!
