Ingredients:  
1 entire 5.05 oz bar of Fels Naptha Soap
3 c. water
1 c. 20 Mule Team Borax Powder
1 c. Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (not Baking Soda)
2 (1 qt) Mason Jars
Directions:
Directions:
Unwrap the Fels Naptha soap and cut the bar in half. Take (1) half of the bar and slice it, cutting it into pea sized chunks. Place all of those chunks into a 1 qt mason Jar. Cut up the other half and place those pieces in the second mason jar.

Add 1 ½ cups of boiling hot water to each jar, cover and leave it alone overnight (you can literally run a pot of water through coffee pot and use that).

The next day (or several days down the road, depending on your schedule!), open the jar, use a butter knife to make a "criss-cross" pattern to loosen the gelled fels naptha off the bottom. Add ½ cup borax and ½ cup washing soda to each jar.

Add enough Hot water to bring the level up to the "shoulder" of the Jar.

Dump contents into a blender. Begin on low speed until mixture become smooth. Then whip until it is light and fluffy with the consistency of creamy mayonnaise.

Pour the mixture back into a mason jar and put the lid on. Repeat with the second mason jar.

For laundry, use one level tablespoon per load.
