How I did it: 1 bar Fel Naptha Bar Soap
1/2 cup Borax
1 cup Washing Soda
5 Gallon Bucket with Lid

- Grate the Fels Naptha
-Heat 3 cups of water in a large sauce pan
-After boiling, add grated Fels Naptha (a little at a time)
-Stir it occasionaly until it melts
-Fill your 5 gallon bucket with 3 gallons of warm water
-Add Borax and Washing soda, stir until it disinegrates
-Then add the melted Fels Naptha
-Stir and put lid on, let sit for 24 hours
-Stir before using
-I used an old tide container to store it in and kept the remainder in the bucket

Enjoy !!!!!

Lessons & tips: I decided the do this because it is much cheaper than buying detergent, enviromentally friendly, easy to do, works great, and only takes about 10 min to make.
