DIY Easy Homemade Bulk Laundry Soap Recipe For Washing Laundry By Hand Or In A Machine

Laundry soap:

4 cups of Arm and Hammer WASHING soda

4 cups of 20 Mule Team Borax

2 cups of grated Ivory soap

In a large container (I use an old, clean gallon ice cream bucket w/lid) combine and mix the washing soda and borax.  Add the grated soap.  Use your hands to mix and break up the soap shavings in the borax/soda mixture.  Mix well.  Cover with lid.  Use 1/3 powdered laundry soap per load of laundry.  Makes about one gallon of laundry soap.

Don't have a washing machine?  Washing your laundry by hand is not as hard as you might think!  With a few simple household items you can get the job done.
